Five Against Run Announces Leg Positions/Epic Duel Between Brothers For 3rd And 4th Leg Will Take Place

After much thought and consideration, the leg positions for the Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon relay team Five Against Run have been penciled in. The Fixer, also known as the team motivator who has more dance moves then Beck in his prime, has pieced together the puzzle of who's running where. Glorified Z adds "The Fixer may not know how to reheat chili, but his architect style rivals that of Mike Brady and Frank Lloyd Wright. I'm pretty confident in the way he utilizes each and every participant."

On May 7th, The Snuggle Comes Off
In similar news, the 3rd and 4th leg positions will be decided in an epic battle of Milton Bradley's "Stratego" on Saturday May 7th between Yellow Ledbetter and The Fixer. The winner gets to pick which leg they prefer to run. Ledbetter states, "I've got moves with my Colonels that The Fixer will not know what to do with. It'll be an ambush of epic proportions." Tickets are sold out for this once in a lifetime event but Stub Hub has announced that ringside seats are available for as high as $850 for this one time battle.

The legs:
Leg 1: Gremmie Out Of Control
Pros: Will run arguably the coolest part of the course through the strip district, PNC Field and Heinz Field.
Lots of Supporters cheering and photo opportunites
Cons: 7AM start
Mass influx of people at starting line

Leg 2: Glorified Z
Pros: Lots of supporters and fans cheering through Carson Street section.
One of the shorter legs
Cons: Carson Street and the West End Bridge are a bit of an uphill incline in sections

Leg 3: The Fixer/Yellow Ledbetter
Pros: Shortest Leg of course
Cons: No supporters around
Running up a bridge and hill in to Oakland

Leg 4: The Fixer/Yellow Ledbetter
Pros: Oakland and Shadyside are nice neighborhoods to run through
Cons: The longest section of the course (6.2 miles)

Leg 5: Dirty Frank
Pros: Easiest leg probably, all downhill
Tired runners all around who have run twenty one miles at that point
Gets to cross the finish line
Cons: Could watch Schindler's List at 7am and still make shuttle to starting position with time to spare.

The race is Sunday May 15th at 7am.

Alternate added to Five Against Run

Five Against Run has added an alternate member to their Pittsburgh Marathon Relay team in case of medical emergency such as a mild case of Whooping Cough or Deng Fever. "Sweet Lew" has been added to the roster. Gremmie Out Of Control  says, "Sweet Lew's track record of stepping into situations has been detrimental in the past. He once filled in for various blackjack players for up to five hours at Fitzgerald's in Vegas while they took bathroom breaks and somehow the management didn't eject us from the casino." The Fixer adds, "His love of bacon and the Stones' "Exile On Main Street" is what this team strives for...delicious meat and Tumbling Dice." "Sweet Lew" could not be reached for comment at the time of this press release as he was out searching for the deluxe edition of Erasure's "The Circus" album.

Ledbetter / Fixer Run 10k Get Soaked


Ladies and Gentlemen, The OrthoIndy 10K perspective from Indianapolis....

As our sergeant of arms watched from atop a port a potty, we ran, we got kind of wet, The Fixer attempted to dive in the canal, and LEDBETTER gave a large cop a high five at mile five. Talk about hi-jinx, Spielberg couldn't produce this stuff. It was ultra-exhilarating. And in the end, the cheese bagel was delectable. As Robert Smith would say...it was Just Like Heaven. Good weekend and glad tidings from Five Against Run! Follow us and Charlie Sheen on Twitter. It is hip.

Mike Damone misses the cut

He tried to make the cut for the team, but he was the last man on the bubble. Mike Damone fro Fast Times At Ridgemont High just missed the five man roster for the first annual relay. He was going to go with the name "Better Man", but now he'll have to go back to scalping and impregnating Jennifer Jason Leigh all over again.

Vedder Approval

With encouragement and approval, Chicago Cub Vedder has approved the team name and logo for the relay team.

Team comes up with name

After much deliberation and a heavy lean towards Kenny Rogers, the team name Five Againt Run has been established for the relay team of the Pittsburgh Marathon.

The team logo has also been established.
