The only people I know who have run marathons aren't injured, just way too smug about an accomplishment that involves jogging.

i dunno maybe because you are out enjoying the beauty of nature and the exhilerating joy or endorphin surges and the meditative, tranquile state your mind and body enters.

Where do you keep your keys when you do a marathon, do you just put your car key in your sock and does that get irritating

Is it more irritating than white twentysomethings not shutting up about color run stuff

outside of the big runs in major cities, there are low key marathons with a few hundred people that are good, but those 5k color runs are social events and can eat a dick.

Hesitate, and you will be lost.
Marathon running can also contribute to higher levels of plaque in the coronary arteries, at least from a study done on male runners. So long-distance runners got that going for them, too:

quote:

“Studies support a potential increased risk of coronary artery disease, myocardial fibrosis and sudden cardiac death in marathoners,” Peter McCullough, a Baylor University cardiologist, wrote as lead author of an editorial in the current Missouri Medicine. . .

I don't know about you, but I painstakingly think my way through a sexual encounter with Halle Berry, just laying out every single detail from the decour to the opening conversation before I begin thinking of exactly how I make the approach, begin sliding her dress off her shoulders, the light glinting off the bedposts etcedera and so on and before I know it I've killed the entire loop easily, usually I don't even get to finish but you get the idea

You either put it in a pocket or a water belt or leave thwm with your wife or hide them on rhe car or just carry them. Even if your a slow sack like me and It takes you 4 hours to finish a marathon... its not to long to hold something in your hand.

lol you act like facebook posts are some sacred space where only worthy and meaningful things can be mentioned. most facebook posts are just racist rants against owebungle or whatever so half marathon photos are probably an improvement IDK i don't really use facebook because i'm not an old woman

I really dont get why you would keep running and poop yourself. Unless you're in first place I'm running into some place and asking to use their bathroom. Hell even if in first place and there isnt some big prize money.

if people are gonna run that's cool but people always want to tell you about the run they had, how far, etc

like, "hey good job, thank goodness someone got that out of the way. way to man up and do all that running, now I don't have to."

I started trail running a while back and it's the tits. Once you get past the initial period where it hurts, it becomes just like hanging out and watching nature cruise by you at a good clip. Having an excuse to bust out the one-hitter and then spend an hour in the woods scrambling over brooks and roots and poo poo while listening to music is rad as hell; having an excuse to do it 3x a week feels like cheating at life.

Road running is for business majors and people who are super concerned with gluten. gently caress that noise.

I remember this video of a marathon I think where these two runners were on their hands and knees crawling to the finish line and everyone else was just running past them like "What up"

marathon runners are drama queens

What if Hitler invented the BMW i3 Subcompact Electric car?

This happened to me once but it was because I put protein powder in a travel mug with a pop on lid with my Keurig chai tea latte and run out the door because I was late for work and it exploded in my car so it was chai tea and protein powder instead of poop but just as embarrassing as I had to walk past my valet and concierge covered in tea and protein powder.
