Can twins RUN IN Dunkin'?

Written by Leah Connor
Edited by Malinda Ann Hill ;-)

Is you Dunkin' Cup...
Half full?
Half empty?

Don't be 1/2 of anything...
Except 1/2 of TWINS RUN!
TWINS are TWICE the FUN!

Leah is faster twin (that's me!)
(BQ = Boston Qualifier)

Malinda is slower twin.
(Go with the flow slow)

We are Marathon Moms!
(Leah has 2 & Malinda has 1)

We are Masters' Moms!
(We're 41)
Masters' Moms team placed 3rd at Cville's Women's 4 Miler
  
We love to run in costume!
 (Usually princesses, not beverages)

Our cups runneth over in caffeine or decaf!

We're ridiculously photogenic in race photos!

We guarantee to get everyone's attention!

"Woo hoo! I just passed a cup of coffee!"

"Wait, didn't I just see a coffee cup pass me?"

"I thought a cup passed me 1/2 an hour ago!"

"Donut tell me, a donut just passed me"

"WTC*?!?, A cup just passed me!" 
*What the Cup

I could be caffeinated.
My twin could be decaf.

I could be a latte.
My twin could be a Dunkaccino®.

I could be a cup of caffeinated heaven.
My twin could be an irresistable donut.

We're the perfect pair!

OK, to be perfectly honest, I also want to wear a costume & still finish under 4 hours, passing runners (including my Physical Therapist!) whilst tweeting and facebooking along the way!

The Marine Corps Marathon holds a special place in both my heart and my twin's because it was the first marathon for each of us (2007 for me and 1995 for her).

I ran the MCM 3 times, but despite finally qualifying for the Boston Marathon this year (3:38:04), my best MCM time is 4:28:30. Eeek! I know I can improve on that, especially if I'm sporting the DD costume!

See how happy a cup of DD makes me?!

See how scary we look when we run without DD?!

See how Dunkin runs (or doesn't) without us?!

TWINs RUN IN Dunkin'

"Run in the Cup!"
Special Dunkin' Donuts Contest
Marine Corps Marathon
twins run WITHOUT Dunkin'
(Before Danger! Zombies! 5K Run! in Cville)

twins run ON Dunkin'
(During the 2009 Philadelphia Marathon)
(Dunkin' cup ran PR at Run for Autism 5K in Cville)

Dunkin' Donuts, a proud sponsor of the MCM, is making available the unique opportunity for one runner to participate in "The People's Marathon" while wearing the Dunkin' cup costume. Will our enthusiasm convince DD to make available the unique opportunity for 2 TWIN RUNNERS? We could both wear the Dunkin' cup costume. Or, one twin could wear the cup and the other could wear the donut - the perfect pairing! :-)

The MCM was 1st marathon for both twins!
Malinda ran in 1995 & she ran 6 more!
Leah ran in 2007, 2008 & 2009 & 15 more!

If only one twin can win, which one?
Each twin has her own unique characteristics.
Malinda, is the "go with the flow" slow(er) 1/2.
Malinda prefers to run in costume & #TweetAndRun!
If Malinda can run 1/2 marathons as Queen of Hearts,
running in the cup would be a piece of cake (donut)! ;-)

Will @TwinsRun IN Dunkin'?
Which TWIN should be IN?
