Marathon Men Make Our Hearts Race
When a friend asked Jack Fultz to help him train for a marathon, the 1976 winner of the Boston Marathon had no idea he’d still be doing it nearly 20 years later –– or that he’d be wearing a skirt! –– as head coach of the Dana Farber Marathon Challenge team. The team (of men and women) is 550 members strong this year and aiming to raise $4.5 million for the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research through the April 21 race from Hopkinton to Boston. Watch for their blue shirts (we’re not sure if they’ll opt for skirts that day) and cheer on (left to right) Larry Hanson, Fred Warburg, Jack Fultz, Tyler Hart, Ben Quick and Matt Whitcomb.
How does it feel to wear a skirt? "It’s very sexy," says Jack. "We’ve always wondered, and now we know."

So I check Lauren's blog the same way I check out PerezHilton. What can I say, she's just as famous in Charlestown? I saw that you had competing stories about the men in skirts and then I went on to read more of your blog. Jim Krazinksi, chocolate, metallic sneakers and many DFMC stories - I can see Lauren is in good company. Good luck with the marathon, you practically ran it Sunday, and I look forward to meeting you!
I was wondering how many people were going to post this picture!
Are you "doing the Thursday" tonight?
