cue "Breaking News" music and graphic
Charlie Gibson: Good afternoon. We regret interrupting our regularly scheduled programming, but we have an important announcement coming in from the RazZDoodle camp. For about a year now, RazZDoodle has been back and forth on running a marathon and unnamed sources have told ABC News that he's holding a press conference in just a few minutes to make his announcement. I assure you that after this, you'll be returned to All My Children where you can watch the same f***ing story line that's been going on for decades. If you're that troubled and you can't follow it by missing one day, you're a goddamn moron."*
RazZDoodle: I want to thank you all for coming today. For the past few years, I've been on the fence about running a marathon. I told many of you here today that I'd make my decision after the Lincoln Half Marathon. I think I'm ready to make my announcement. I'm going to be training for the IMT Des Moines Marathon on October 19th, 2008.
Reporter 1: So, you're going to be running a marathon.
RazZDoodle: That's what I just said, yes. Where did you go to J-School? Colorado?
Reporter 2: That's 26.2 miles.
RazZDoodle: That is correct.
Reporter 3: Are you ready for that type of commitment?
RazZDoodle: I'm not quite sure. There could be some stumbling blocks along the way.
Reporter 1: So there will be stumbling blocks?
RazZDoodle: Yes. I'll be gone for a week in late-July where running may not be an option....at least not without a potential hangover. There's also injury, fatigue, time commitment, giving up my diet of coffee and ice cream, etc.
Reporter 2: Describe your training program.
RazZDoodle: I, uh, haven't gotten that far yet. When I settle on one, there'll be a press release.
Charles Gibson: So there you have it. RazZDoodle is making the commitment. When we have more information, we'll break into your programming. Maybe during One Life to Live. Good night and good luck. Hah! Take that Murrow!"
*wouldn't it be awesome if he said that?

The repeat-the-statement question ranks right along with "can you elaborate on that?"
At least, that's what I learned from MY J-school.
Congrats on your decision. I await further statement.
Fantastic, congratulations!
What are you giving up ice cream for?!
Woo! Congrats! And you most certainly do NOT have to give up coffee. That would be a horrible, horrible tragedy.
Ice cream was a vital part of my no-plan plan. Don't give it up!
Also, I may come down to Des Moines for the half as part of that Des Moines/Kansas City/three states in one weekend thing Topher told me about. I'll let you know!
Congrats on your decision. I'm going to have to give one of those a try sometime.
Congrats on making the marathon commitment.
Loved the interview, especially Gibson's commentary. I would actually watch the news if they spoke like that as opposed to always sounding like Reporter 1. :)
Congratulations! You will not regret it. Well, you might regret it but by then it'll be too late and you may as well just finish. Having control of your bowels is way overrated anyhow.
Whoooooooooooo hooooooooooo!
This is gonna get dirty. I can feel it.
Congrats on making the marathon commitment - I just did too - well a few weeks back. My first marathon will be on October 18th in Newport, RI. Good luck to you - this is my first time reading your blog - it's great!
Yeah! Welcome to the crazy club!
No need to give up coffee and ice cream! That's MUCH crazier than running 26.2 miles.
