Then of course, in November, is the full marathon.
If you don’t wish to inform that you are running, but want to recognize me at the race, that will be easy.
I will be the one at the finish line with the victorious look on my face.
Oh, I almost forgot. I implanted a bomb in a french fry that Fenris ate. It has moved up into his brain (the bomb, not the french fry,) and unless somebody defeats me this bomb will go off destroying Fenris’ ability to post anything except Britney Spears song parodies.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!
Alas, dear Scylla, but I am a coward when it comes to matching your prowess.
So my “flimsy” excuse for not bringing it on that day is that I’ll be “running another race the next weekend”. http://www.y-events.com/maps.html
Yes, instead of toeing the line and matching wits with you, I shall fold like a cheap pup tent and cherry pick another race. You are far too powerful and fleet for me.
For those not local, anybody who runs in a half-marathon between now and race day, can post their time, and if I don’t beat it, I’ll turn off the french fry.
They will of course have to post a link to the race.
I will assume that was directed at me. Upon rereading my post, I suppose it could be interpreted in such a way as to suggest there is a race out here that I will be participating in soon. This is not the case. The first month of my triumphant return to college is almost upon me and this leaves little time for racing other than the occasional “Race for <some cause/event here>” 5K.
I have won this race before it has even begun!! While you sit there running in sweltering heat or torrential rains i shall sit in my dry air conditioned house watching TV and not becoming the least bit winded or discomforted. HA! Victory is MINE!
Scylla, you realize that IF I were to come down to Amishville or wherever you live, and tried to run in that marathon, my heart would explode and I’d die.
And it would be ALL your fault.
My legions of fans would then have to tear you apart in a fit of grief and rage.
So it’s just as well that I’m gonna stay here, fat and lazy, but alive.
Scylla, let me be the first on record to state my belief in your statement. Not only will you beat me, but you will mash me to a pulp. I beez slow ‘n’ stuff. My half marathon PR: 2:19:15
I’m running a half marathon on September 7 in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota - the Dick Beardsley Half Marathon. I would like to run it in 2:15 or less.
Well, approximately three hours later (time zones) I’ll be doing a triathlon…
but, chances are I’ll do this half on Monday the 2nd. Unfortunately, I suck - so no way am I beating 1:30. (In fact, I’ll be thrilled if I beat 2:20.)
But next year…
