sprinters and marathon runners are two COMPLETELY different animals. Dont get it twisted.

I just counted mine: 80. Pretty sh!tty. But I was smoking a cigarette while counting and had much stress @ office today. Curious about the waking up thing though.

#45

I think 80 is pretty bad. Mine is high 50s. I swim, play squash and this year added 1/3 of Herschel Walker’s daily routine.

I just run for health. I couldn’t care less if running is a sport or not, or if I win anything. The one undeniable fact is that it is healthy when done in moderation, kind of like comp_sci_kid’s mother.

It’s essentially bitter medicine I force myself to take to decrease the chances of dying… and acts to compress mental/physical/emotional pain into a shorter time frame so I can experience positive feelings in a longer time frame.

i don’t think i could do a fat @$$ “Fat Ass events are trail races governed by three rules: no fees, no awards, no whining. Distances are typically 50 kilometers or 50 miles, but vary according to a race director’s whims or ability to borrow his buddy’s GPS device. Fat Ass runs have no lotteries, no expos, no qualifying times, no triple-digit entry fees subsidizing multimillion-dollar “running clubs.” No one will urinate on you from the upper span of the Verrazano Bridge, and you won’t shiver for hours in a corral before the starting gun. Everyone charges off as equals, Braveheart-style.” http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/18/born-to-be-a-trail-runner/
