ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TACK...

NO. NO NO NO NO NO. NO. The aliens are among us, and they’re running from NY to San Francisco.

/eats stick of butter.

I love running and when someone is a decade older than me it gives me even more hope. Which as we all know hope is just disappointment waiting to happen.

Fuckkkkkkkk. My two to three a day looks like shit compared to this. And I mean my two to three mile shuffle/jog/march of death.

It seems like a pretty pointless way to spend your time, but then I sit at a desk all day working on a heart attack, and doubtless during which myocardial infraction, most of what flashes before my eyes will be a laptop screen, so who am I to judge?

myocardial infarction, dammit.

DC @#4 and 5…anything myocardial would be an infraction in some sense, so rest easy…no stress here…and keep a couple of aspirin handy…

…and what flashes before your eyes would be what is ON the laptop screen…so make sure she’s a cutie…past bunda comes to mind…

Really fun read, Orson. I do 10k’s and short triathlon sprints, and typically “drag myself across the finish line” as he described. That guy’s incredible.

I guess it helps to be one of those “it’s not the destination; it’s the journey” kind of guys . . . if you never fucking stop running. I respect the hell out of that guy, but, to borrow a phrase, he’s crazier than a sack of rabid weasels.

“Karnazes was not compatible with his high school track coach and stopped running for fifteen years.He resumed running on his 30th birthday with an impromptu all-night, soul-searching, 30-mile trek in his underwear and old lawn-mowing shoes.”-Wiki

Had I tried that type of run, I would have been arrested. The newspaper would read
“Alabama Man, slightly overweight, 38, arrested at 3am while running down the road in
‘Alabama 36-Auburn 0 Underwear’ and grass stained Chuck Taylors. Says he was ‘soul searching’. Man is being held under observation at local Insane Asylum. Wife says he must be crazy cause he is allergic to physical activity not involved with
weightlifting in sets/reps of 3×8.... Film at 11…”

After reading this, I think we have found the real life Forrest Gump. You are not running long enough if start clean shaven and you dont have a ZZ Top beard when you stop.
Wonder what that coach said to make him so mad that it would stop him from running? Who was his track coach, Nick Saban?

My mom is a hardcore runner, and has running shoe inserts with Dean’s picture on them. He’s a god to runners.
