Most normal people seem to think that runners have a few loose screws. Well, most runners seem to think that
marathoners, further, are shy of some cerebral matter, that is, they
suffer from Marathon Madness.
In that vein, it is my pleasure to present a compilation of the results (and
post-mortems) of North Shore Strider marathoners and a list of
future candidates for institutionalization. For those of you who are not familiar with
it, there is a particularly virulent form of Marathon Madness, the
Boston Marathon Maniacal Obsession. The objective of this mania is
to get admitted to the Boston Marathon by running a "Boston
Qualifying" (BQ) time. For 2004, these Boston Qualifying times are presented,
below.
