Some of the more astute Uberers may notice the big "proof" in the middle of all the photos.
I can assure you it isn't some type of Halo effect that surrounds me and can only be captured by photos. I am considering buying all the photso they have of me, but the scabby goats at marathon photo charge $74 bucks for that.
It isn't the money, it is the principle. I would normally just keep pics that friends shot even though pictures taken after the amount of "cheering" (drinking in public) aren't normally too good, but this is my last marathon so I was thinking of getting better ones.
/Before you comments about the rip off $74 for pictures fo such anugly person is, please make sure it will be witty enoguh to provide a chuckle. It is a slow day at work today.

Curiousity got the best of me.
Damn dude, that's an impressive time. Particularly on 30mpw!
Helluva job!
But I'm not paying the $ they want for pics. That's a bit excessive.

eh not so good. you're scary enough and apparently have access to artillery.
i'm just overly observant anyway.
on topic: i'd like to run a marathon one day. i seem to top out at about 3 miles though which is a bit of a fail and a long stretch short of 26. i can swim farther though if that matters... do they do marathon swimming? i'll sign up for that.
how the fuck do you train for that without dying if you're not built for running? by not built for running i mean i have pretty short legs in relation to my body and i'm built like a russian beet farmer's wife.

Good show on the marathon. It's not something I would have been able to do. It's not a mind over matter thing for me- I wouldn't be able to physically make it. See- I'm very short legged (it runs in the family) and the 36" steps while formation and road marching in the Army gave me wicked fucking splints. I actually have a series of dimples running down my shins from it. I have to do all my cardio on the bike or elliptical. I'm a pussy.

Iowa Jima, the last great battle of the United States Civil War, resulted in the deaths of over 3 bajillion Americans.
Fought over water rights to the Cedar River in the year 2014, the battle raged for 30 minutes, until someone bravely shouted "Hey, it's a fucking river that's polluted and nasty! Why are we fighting?!?"
After which, the last shots were fired from both sides of the conflict, because nobody likes a smartass.

Child: "Mommy? Why is that man not wearing a shirt like all the other ones?"
Mother: "Oh, don't worry dear. He's just very proud, that's all."

I started with a shirt, but tossed it at mile 8 because the sun was fully out and it was getting hot.
I am peeved there isn;t a picture of me with the shirt.

I never looked that happy when I ran.
The 2nd pic looks like some corporate promotional 'we can do it!' propaganda pic. Or at least you do. You know what I'm talking about.
How sore are you?
---------------
That is better than trying to force out a shit smile, which I think describes it better, but I get what you are saying.
I was feeling fine yesterday so I rode the bike and did body weight squats, so I am in a bit of pain today. It was actually refreshing to have sore leg muscles as opposed to sore joints that I was getting from training.

I always admire people doing something in one day that takes entirely more effort than I would be able to muster for a year.
good show.
