As they seek the meaning of life through training to achieve new goals, our curious, curious campers won't give it a rest. In order that we don't have to keep repeating ourselves, here are the answers to the five most commonly asked questions at Run Camp:1. Why does Jen Lindsay get to sing the National Anthem, and if she gets sick, may I sub in?
A. It's her birthday, that's why. And if she gets sick, take note that we've got the Vienna Boys Choir scheduled to sing "Don't Stop Believing" at the finish line, and they'll be moved into Jen's slot.
2. I've heard there are only 14 aid stations on the marathon course. Can we get a few more set up just for run campers?
A. It's true, we baby run campers, but the answer, unfortunately, is that we can't let the run camp tail wag the marathon dog. Slurpees will be on sale at 7-Eleven. And there's a 13-mile Quit Station in the Winchell neighborhood, where they'll be serving beer. You can fake a quit, have a beer, and resume.
3. What kind of car does Chris Lampen-Crowell drive?
A. He drives a Gazelle, manufactured by New Balance. Sadly, he has to replace it every 500 miles or so.
4. How come no one can ask a serious question around here? Let me rephrase that. How come no one can get a serious answer to a question around here?
A. That's a really good question.

I like the quit station, finally I can stop requesting that one.
Got to watch some of us. We got lost on the out and back loop. Brent needs to fit some of us with GPS's. Or maybe we can drop gu (in lieu of bread crumbs) to help find our way back "home". Who knows where we will go next week. Probable do one of the marathon mileages.
