I ran 3.5 kms yesterday. I just needed to do that 11 more times and I'd have ran a marathon. Easy-peasy.

900m to the next aid station is not "almost a km", it's only "a little more than half a mile".
Ran 14 kms? That's not, "only 1/3 of the way". It's, "Ok, just do that two more times".
It's not, "10 kms left". It's, "Just a Sun Run left".

Man, I always thought that if Nate was ever to link theoatmeal it'd be this...

So Grand is going to compete in Muddler next year and is asking if anyone wants to join his team. I would pay to watch Nat compete.

[se7entse7en]

You don't compete... you complete.
Nat: DO IT!

[nature boy]

fynn would pay me to compete?
and what is a Muddler?

[Wetundies]

Yeah, i'll pay you $10,000 if you come in first. Buy you a drink if manage to finish the race alive.

[nature boy]

come in first? it's not a competition, it's a completion.

[Wetundies]

Then you might take 1 week to complete, so have to make it a competition for you.

Tys, Joel, and I are joining Carson's team. Probably Dunc too cuz I like to volunteer him for stuff. We are registering this weekend. Anyone else want in? It's a beginner team so there is no pressure to perform, just to finish.
































That's what "insert name here" said she ever expects now anyway.
