I would LOVE to talk to any of these folks on the I-95 Morning Show. Marathons fascinate me and I don't think I am alone.

Here are the questions that are melting my brain:

Do marathon runners actually pee themselves during a race?
At what point during a marathon are you pushing through extreme pain?
Did you cry? If no, how?
What makes a human want to do this?

Do people bump into each other at the beginning?
How long did you sleep after the race?

If you are one of the marathon runners listed above, or you know them, please reach out, we have an interview slot for you.

7 of The Most Dangerous Cities to Be in Connecticut After Dark

The most recent was from a company called House Grail. Like so many companies today, they used third party data to develop reports that we'll all read. The more people that read it, the more look into their business. As a consumer (a set of eyeballs) I think it is one of the most effective and digestible marketing tools. The statistics they shared come from FBI. These are 7 of The Most Dangerous Cities to Be in Connecticut After Dark:
