my Regina Marathon race report is here

So, I passed two superheros while running the Regina Marathon - Supergirl (passed her @ about 5 mile mark) and Spiderman (passed him at about mile 19 or 20 - he finished 9 minutes after me). Click here for proof he was at the race.

Do you know what sucks about passing a superhero? Nobody notices you. All they see is Spiderman and they cheer and cheer and cheer, “go Spiderman, GO!”.

And I’m thinking, “Hey, I’m the guy who just passed Spidey!”.

Edit: Lookey what I found!

Excellent Point! Next race I see a racing superhero I’ll cheer the guy just ahead just a little louder. Well, unless he’s wearing an arch-villain costume…

Maybe we should design a Complete Running t-shirt to include a “Super Blogfather” logo, or “Super Marathoner”?

You and the Amazing Hip have to race together in capes someday :)

Congrats on the Regina Marathon (great race report) and new mile PR too! The superheros must have been super-heated by the end, even in Regina in September.
