You may run with folks who are faster than you, but a top club pro shooting a round with Tiger and Phil still gets to brag about what an insanely good golfer he is.<br /><br />But why will you never run Boston? It seems like a seminal experience for a serious runner. If it is that you hate the idea of the city, I completely get it - I lived there, and I hate it too (as a place to live, it is awesome as a place to visit). Or is there more than that?DubaiAtNightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-47221394300029314922012-02-29T09:21:57.523-05:002012-02-29T09:21:57.523-05:00I just saw that we were still talking over on this...I just saw that we were still talking over on this post.<br /><br />Yes, I am actually 6'1" and 158 lbs. I'm still a little heavy from the holidays.<br /><br />I have never and will never run Boston. 95% of the people excited about running Boston are the ones that just barely qualified, and they tend to be an enormous group of noobs and/or douchebags.<br /><br />But I certainly could run it if I wanted to. I ran a 1:22 half in October, and ran some low 17 5Ks last year, so a 3:10 over 26.2 is like a fast jog for me.<br /><br />** To the extent any of this sounds like I'm bragging, believe me when I say that I am no great distance runner. There are several guys and girls in my running group who can and do beat me over the longer distances (not so much the 5K though -- my times are actually pretty competitive for a 38 year old).Raysismnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-12391532068426600282012-02-29T08:54:28.810-05:002012-02-29T08:54:28.810-05:00IMG banned this user and moved this thread to #doe...<i>IMG banned this user and moved this thread to #doesthismakeyoufeelathome?</i>IMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896814779096110550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-13703752331863732972012-02-29T08:51:52.150-05:002012-02-29T08:51:52.150-05:00No problem IMG.

The only way that I ran somewhat well years back was that I spent that whole summer in Houston jogging around because I was bored (yes, I do stupid things when bored, that is now well established).<br /><br />When the fall hit, that conditioning just exploded. I went from 4 miles to 10 without thinking twice. And even that was not enough to qualify for Boston - I have no idea how those folks do it.<br /><br />I guess what I am saying is, jog in place in a sauna for three months.

Given that, I thought I actually did fairly well defending myself from the hoard and was reasonably polite, but I should have just gone to sleep.<br /><br />Anyway, I wasn't trying to make anyone at Deadspin look bad - I didn't even bring up Deadspin until late in the game after one of them brought it up first, and then I even agreed that the statistics we like to lord over them are probably not significant. <br /><br />OK, I'm off to find a dictionary so that I can finally figure out all of those complicated words that they kept throwing at me.DubaiAtNightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-25074007085433822132012-02-28T21:49:57.241-05:002012-02-28T21:49:57.241-05:00Imgslayer, you no say daddy 'llego I go' b...Imgslayer, you no say daddy 'llego I go' blame, a licky boom boom downIMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896814779096110550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-75644712713328059212012-02-28T21:30:27.490-05:002012-02-28T21:30:27.490-05:00I'm not going to do the research to back this ...I'm not going to do the research to back this up, but I'm like 102% certain that everything Stev D posts is goddamn hilarious.Shartinghttp://deadspin.com/people/all_over_but_the_shartingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-90632203080777037562012-02-28T21:10:58.986-05:002012-02-28T21:10:58.986-05:00Get skyfire, and use it in desktop mode.Get skyfire, and use it in desktop mode.Echonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-13056312350153812022012-02-28T20:38:25.079-05:002012-02-28T20:38:25.079-05:00It's too short to reply or link to, but Stev D...It's too short to reply or link to, but Stev D's comment in tonight's DUAN made me laugh really fucking hard.Universal Enveloping Algebranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-72883850612984341412012-02-28T20:21:12.175-05:002012-02-28T20:21:12.175-05:00Whoa whoa, how do you comment via iPhone?Whoa whoa, how do you comment via iPhone?Thirsty Squirrelnoreply@blogger.com
