PBJ - what a treat to meet you and the family. I was able to recognize you immediately from the photo of Tall trying to choke you. Congratulations on your amazing time - I am sure this will get worted out soon!

Please thank each PBJster for the candy corn cookies - the 6th one was just as tasty as the first. Orange dyed sugar cookies with white and dark chocolate frosting go down in my book as a keeper!

PBJ you are an awesome runner!!!  Congrats on the marathon of a lifetime.  Dale is right..what now????  Thanks for a great report.

PS: It was great to see the long suffering family...what a great bunch they are!!!

As promised a picture of the PBJster's sign, I am sure that contributed to the fast finish!

Yes!

La Tortuga, it can't possibly be that the 6th cookie tasted as good as the 1st.  Your marginal utility per cookie consumed will always fall with each successive cookie.

Take Snickers bars as an example. I really enjoy that first Snickers bar in a day. It gives me, let's say, 14 utils of consumption delight. The next one I eat that day is also really good, but I get 10 utils of delight from it. The third is merely "good", and I get 3 utils of delight from it. I sorta like the 4th Snickers I eat that day, gaining 1 more util of delight. The 5th -- I am indifferent, gaining no delight at all.

You'd have to pay me to eat the 6th Snickers bar that day, meaning that the marginal utility for me has gone negative.

Of course, the PBJ family cookies were probably still providing very positive marginal utility for you, even at the 6th one. But if you increased that, your added utils would surely go negative at some point (maybe a few batches).

Hmmm.  Is this an experiment we need to test?

Congratulations on reaching your very lofty goal. Your training was amazing, but this performance even more so. Well done on both.

PBJ -  you are such a nut, but holy makeral can you ever run!     Congratulations on the PR and sub 3, absolutely fantastic, and I love the Go PBJ sign.   Incredible running, congrats again.
