The Streets' Mike Skinner has announced his plans to run a marathon
Frontman Mike Skinner from the Streets said that he will run the New York Marathon this year on November 5.
He indicated that he made the decision after talking it over with the trainer company that sponsors him.
"Spoke to Reebok about things and I've decided to run the New York Marathon," Skinner explained. "I know it seems a bit long but if people do it dressed as milk cartons it can't be that hard, right?"
Last year a record 36,856 runners crossed the Central Park finish line for the 26.2 mile event. Other celebrities have run it in the past, including fellow rapper Diddy.
Skinner didn't specify what his training routine will be, but hopefully it will include dressing as a milk carton.
