Meet our reader-cover model: Mr. Runderful (a.k.a. Rob Chenoweth)

I'm not sure Old Town resident Rob Chenoweth knew what he was in for when he agreed to grace the cover of this week's TOC, our second-ever Marathon Issue. For instance, do you think he was psyched about standing on a chair on the sidewalk, donning a lightweight running singlet and shorts, while pouring pitchers of beer over his head on a chilly Fall morning? But Rob was super laid-back and took the whole not-so-glamorous experience in stride. Click for a look behind the scenes at his cover shoot. And click on to meet some of the the other readers who were willing to grace the cover of our mag. Reader Zach Burns told us, "Why should you put me on the cover?...I'm planning on shaving my beard into a delicious handlebar Marathon Mustache, which I would be willing to do a bit early, should the wise photo editors select me." Aww. We'll be rooting on Zach, Rob and the rest of the awesome folks who will run their hearts out on Sunday 11, using the spectating tips and strategies in this week's marathon package. Good luck, runners!
