In light of the Boston Marathon and its 26.2 miles of glory, we here at the ol’ Free Press figured it would only be fitting to list what some of your favorite characters would require as motivation to run next year and make it past Heartbreak Hill.
- Dean of Students Kenneth Elmore would run the marathon if only someone would broadcast his feat via TwitPic the entire route.
- Mayor Thomas Menino would not run the race, but instead bike it . . . with the request that a speech therapist greet him at the finish line.
- College of General Studies students would run 26.2 miles just to get out of Capstone. The rest of us here at Boston University would run just to escape from their complaining.
- Renew BU would run the Boston Marathon for a secretary.
- BUnited would run for a more creative name.
- The people of Iceland would run if they could replace the name of the volcano with an easier word to spell.
- “Comm. Ave. Guy” would run the 26.2 in its entirety, without breaking a sweat, just to prove he still exitsts.
- The Daily Free Press would run for a sense of humor.
