You're awesome! I'm always in awe of people who can run for multiple miles at a time.

GreenCanary – Depending on your pace, that means you could have had between approximately 1 and 18,000 people chasing you…

I only run when chased.

Aine – the thing about swimming, I feel guilty when I drink and swim. The possibility of passing out in an ocean/pool seems a bit extreme when you can easily pass out on a comfortable asphalt bed.

t2ed – You could always just run to work… problem solved.

k8 – Yes, yes, yes! The racing world needs more cheering spectators… y’all make pounding the pavement more interesting. Might I suggest dressing up in costumes next time?

Charlotte – seriously, speaking of smooshed bugs, I’ve never seen more roadkill during a road race. You name your small rodent, bird, or mammal, and it was there

Katie – as long as you keep me hydrated with beer, this can be arranged

Arjewtino – Awesome! And those skirts will provide sufficient motivation.

Love that picture. It brings back so many Simpson-riffic memories.

Congrats on the run… a 10 miler is no joke. PS: Mmmmmmmm, cupcakes.

If you ever need a trainer, please give me a call. By trainer, I of course mean the person who cheers you on from right beside you driving a golf-cart and shares the delightful choice of after-food.

If you ever take up biking, we can make an ever more solid arrangement of me tagging along with you via this lovely baby:

… smooshed bugs on the pavement, planes flying overhead, the buzz of power lines… hey whatever it takes to distract yourself from remembering that you’re running… congrats on getting it done! bet that was a damn good beer and a steak you had!

Oh, but I DID say to my cheering partner as a woman was running by in a running skirt, that I would be MUCH more likely to exercise if I had a skirt like that and she turned to me and said, “By God, I think you WOULD!”
