He's So Original
Marathon Men Make Our Hearts Race
By skirtboston, Tuesday, March, 25, 2008 1 comments
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."

Charles Savoie---do these fellows take magnesium, carnitine and rhodiola before running? It would save lives.
I'd rather run in a short ruffled petticoat or in a pleated tennis skirt. And only plain T-shirt upstairs.
