Re: Why do you still run?

Here we go! It's the return of the limping marathoners! (btw, I wandered off this board the other day following a post, and ran across a comment that "just because you've completed a marathon, it doesn't mean you're a marathoner." I found that (a) grammatically inconsistent and (b) quite elitist, and not in the "elite runner" sense, either.)

 

Call or email me when you get back, and we can ice together. I'll be packing lots of ibuprofen in April. And yes I still need to write you a check for the hotel. But first I have to get paid. My last paycheck was in December. Stupid adjunct contracts.




God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.

Gym scales are notoriously inaccurate. 
  
 
 
They had two scales in our locker room at work for a while (doctor's office type scales).  I weighed myself on both, one right after the other, and got a two pound difference.  
 
 
  
 
 
Sara, i also saw that quote about not being a marathoner - all kinds of ********** in the world.

I seem to have all the same options when I go to other communities.  The only one missing is "Convert thread to document".
