Please join me in congratulating Katy, seen here at mile 22, who would go on to complete her fifth Marine Corps marathon in a row. Unlike new addict Kristen, Katy seems to like to live in a state of perpetual denial. Today was the fifth time she told us all, post-marathon, “this is the last one.” It was only the fourth time, however, that she said “I really mean it this time.”

We’ll see which side of the line she’s standing on next year. I know where my bet is.
