2. The Local Celebrity
If you didn't have enough reasons already to go trotting, the chance to meet the channel 3 weatherman is sure to get you out of bed! The odds are 50-50 that this guy actually runs the race, but he's wearing the shirt, which is all that really matters. Expect a semi-motivational speech beforehand over the PA, which you'll take to heart, because "hey, it's that guy!"
