Dear Medtronic

Hey Medtronic:

I ran 5 miles over lunch today. In the pouring rain. Did I mention it's 46 degrees today? Guess what?

I didn't die.

Just thought you'd want to know.

Sincerely,

Marcus

PS. Did you get my e-mail today? The one where I said you guys are uncool? I thought that was a little nicer than saying you "suck," though I don't regret putting that in the blog. Just wondered, since nobody wrote me back.

    I have to agree with you on this. Why would Medtronic place this restriction on a diabetic runner. I don't get it. Keep on running Marcus.

  4. Hey, Marcus,
    Please see this:

    http://dommy.com/ihaterunning/2008/03/28/medtronic-guidelines/

    Medtronic has updated the Global Heroes guidelines page with a "Learn more" link next to the rule about diabetics over 40.

    More silliness. I just wish they would. Learn more, that is.
