I Forgot to Mention...

More Marine Corps memories...

1) The guy who played the sargeant on "Full Metal Jacket" gave a pep talk before the gun went off.

2) There was a little boy around mile 18 holding up a sign that said, "Run you freakin' idiots!"

3) I owe much thanks to whatever group was passing out cups of M&Ms around mile 16. I was going to toss them out (I wanted water), but decided to eat them and felt so much better 5 minutes later (I guess my blood sugar was down to my toes).

4) High school bands played the theme from "Rocky"

5) A sign at mile 23 said, "3.2 miles until beer."

Never turn down m&m's during a marathon. They are a life saver!!
