Hold Onto Your Socks... I Won!

"Once I came upstairs and one of them had braces and
that is when I said 'Okay Fred, this is where I draw the line."


No, not a race, but something kind of cool nonetheless! As one of those fellows who can safely, and honestly, whine that "I never win anything," I am happy to announce that I have finally "broken through!"

Over the past week one of my (how lucky are we to have two?) running community's website/forums, The Rochester Running Page, has been holding a trivia/DVD giveaway contest the prize being a copy of the recently released documentary about famed New York marathon impresario, Fred Lebow, Run for Your Life: The Fred Lebow Story.

Following a quick detour to Youtube for a gander at the trailer (above), I set about digging online to answer the five questions about Fred's 1970's-laden (as you can judge by the Lothario-esque quote above referencing Fred's penchant for the ladies!) in an effort to win. (Well, that in addition to the fact that, with Anne in the hospital, I had little else to do during downtime at home between visits.)

As a fan of both documentary film and running, following a bit of research, I was glad to actually get the five questions correct thereby being awarded one of five copies available. All signs point to my receiving the DVD by this weekend, so, despite not having the bread to go to the movies I am looking forward to checking out Run for Your Life.
