It's on every runner's mind, the senseless attack on the runners and spectators of the Boston Marathon yesterday. As a tribute to the victims, I'm wearing race shirts all week, along with runners across the country.
But I wanted to honor the spectators, the folks there to cheer for friends, family, and strangers- without them, the races would not be the events that they are. So, here is my list of my favorite spectators signs I've seen in races this year.
1) Lamest. Parade. EVAR.
2) Grumpy Cat. (I ran once. It was HORRIBLE.)
3) I'm sure this seemed like a good idea 4 months ago.
4) Any idiot can run, it takes a special idiot to run (fill in race distance here).
5) Every "Hey Girl" with Ryan Gosling.
6) Every "Hey Girl" with Justin Timberlake.
7) RESPRINT! THE END IS NEAR!
8) All the "That's what she said."
9) The Stairway to Heaven drawn on the giant hill at mile 12, Austin Half Marathon.
10) No, YOU'RE AWESOME!
