A Runner is Like An Onion
July 6, 2007 |
Lots of funny layers! Here is a compilation of very funny running related satirical writings I dug up on my favorite source of fake news - The Onion.
- NYC Marathoner ‘Just Went Out There and Had Fun’
- 6000 Runners Fail to Discover Cure for Breast Cancer
- Retired Marathon Runner Discovers Eater’s High (a very funny MP3!)
- Nation’s Joggers Sick of Finding Dead Bodies
- Nike to Cease Manufacturing Products
- Cross-Country Champ Wishes He Were Good at Sports
- Backwoods Kenyan Just Watches Marathons for the Crashes
My favorite is the first one. What’s yours?

I’ve seen a few of those before; they are pretty funny. I like the 6000 runners fail to discover the cure one best, I think.
I’d pick the first one cause that’s exactly what a marathon or any race is for me.
There is nothing quite like the NYC Marathon, for a runner, as my wife was 7 times, or for a spectator like me.
My new legal thriller, “A Good Conviction,” is set largely in Manhattan, has several scenes in Central Park, and features New York runners (a runner finds the body) and the NYC marathon, seen from the perspective of a spectator in four different locations.
Many NYC Marathon runners have told me how wonderful it is to read about their event and their city as part of an exciting novel.
“A Good Conviction” tells the story of a young man convicted of a murder he didn’t commit by a prosecutor who may have known he was innocent.
I invite you to consider “A Good Conviction” on amazon …
