The Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) is billed as the “People’s Marathon” and with 36,000 participants and 5000 Marines, it is rightly named. The Pirañas arrived in town late and on fire. They caught a taxi from Washington Dules Airport to the Hyatt where they are staying for the weekend: After checking in they started looking […]

Weather Or Not…

Running is not for sissies. We run no matter how much sleep we got the night before, no matter what hurts, no matter who comes along. We run no matter what. Weather is no exception. We run in rain, cold, heat, sun, dark, wind, sleet (even hail, but not lightening.) We train in bad weather […]

We Call Him “McLuvin”
by admin on October 14, 2008
Well, we have a new addition to the Pirañas. Actually, not a new addition, just a new classification. P.I.T. (Piraña In Training) McLuvin was on the short list from early on, but had not completed the requisite distance runs necessary to earn him Brotherhood. After his valiant and superior service to Brothers Big, Mav and […]
