How taking the bus to work relates to marathons...

Go Meredith!So, my future wife, Meredith, is running the Marine Corp Marathon at the end of the month.
The other morning while training, she was disgusted with the amount of people who drive to work and the ensuing exhaust that she was inhaling. As someone who either takes the bus/metro and/or the train to work, this gave her an idea.
She has decided (in an atypical liberal way) to place something similar to the following on the back of her shirt while running the marathon:

If I can run 26.2 miles, you can take the bus/metro to work.


Personally, if she wants to make a statement, that's fine with me. I take planes to work, so I am worse than all of those driving. But, this idea intrigues me due to the first potential opportunity for a www.villagerwithwheel.com sponsorship.
She has agreed, sorta, that if the blog pays for her shirt to be made (dry fit material with the statement screened on the back), she would be willing to have the address of the blog on the shirt also.

Clearly, any traffic obtained from this sponsorship probably wouldn't like my previous post poking fun at Al Gore. But, we could put up some hippie posts on saving the environment prior to the marathon to lure in potential tree huggers readers.


Then, right after we get them hooked, we could have OD guest blog with a stall quote (from our college frat house), similar to "stop throwing pennies at my boobs you effing jack@ss", but something much more offensive.....

But seriously, I think the sponsorship idea is money....
