I think I'll just drink a lot of Samuel Adams beer instead of running the marathon.

while rich is entirely right that most anyone can go from 0 to 60 (2 miles to 20) in the space of a summer, i will merely note that:

1. i had a dear friend train and complete the marathon will maintaining a pack a day cigarette habit. 2. this whole barfing / blood pee / uncontrolled poo thing is WAY overdone. i'm not saying it doesn't happen, it just happens a whole lot less than you'd think listening to gross out reports. now blisters and chafing - that happens.

Ummm ... are there actually posters who suggest that the colors are more important?

That's supposed to be snark, but after a glance at RedState and BlightFart posts, maybe it's not so far-fetched.

Why couldn't these assholes have blown up a comics shop, or video arcade (they still have those, right?)? I can handle that stuff. Movement? --<i>shudder</i>

<i>for every hour of running you extend your life 40 minutes</i>

Unless you're relying heavily on Zeno's paradox, you still end up dead.

A normal human would need an 18-foot pole and a running start to leap to Hoft's conclusions. How does he do it?

I have excellent knees for someone my age, and if I'm gonna wreck them at all I prefer to do it on the ski slopes, thankyouverymuch.

Does Colbert really have repeating family tragedies, or is Taboola recycling his old one?

It ends when we reach 26.2 pages. Just keep on typing, people -- you can do it -- I can feel the dopamine high coming on right now.

i'm kinda a nut about exercise (it keeps me sane - no joke) and i do many kinds. but none of them come close to running in terms of general sense of health and well being (plus lungs / blood / heart).
