    I know a lot of people who run the big one, I've never been there for it (except to drive into Disney and see runners alongside the car).

    Afterwards was interesting, too. Tons of people in wheelchairs and on crutches.

    I'm sorry about your knees, Gaston. I've never run in a race before, so I'm hoping I don't injure myself training to do so!
