Brilliant. Sounds like a blast and just like the way it was meant to be.

I was once smuggled into an event using the name Ryan Koch. I felt clever.

We eloped to Vegas and got married at city hall. Best. idea. ever. No stress, no fuss and as a result we enjoyed our day and saved a metric shit ton of cash for a down on our first house.

I'm going give you a star every time I see you post cos I have a c63 and I like your user name. Mine used to c63>m3 but it got fucked up somehow. What are you driving?

Thanks for that. Pretty much what I thought - mostly under 10% of marathoners qualify. I was of the understanding that this is an attempt to make sure that, as much as possible, all groups are represented proportionately. But I really think they ought to open the floodgates for the old folks and make it a LOT easier.…

You missed the part where I said I can't run anymore :( but yes, there are other places to put my energy. But it didn't really take that long. I type fast and bullshit even faster.

Dude...bro. 24 hrs later and I have had a bunch agree with me and I have also had a bunch feel just like you. But you made that point the best, and you said it kindest and most eloquently so thank you.

You sure? Apparently I have no sense of humor. But thanks. No one has ever said that to me before :)

I got your back. We good.

I don't think you are being an asshole re the weight. I agree with you. It was my biggest challenge. Thats why I mentioned I am a clydesdale. Running IS harder for me. There is more up and down pounding and less running. I worked crazy hard at that aspect with diet, a locally respected trainer, cross training, long…

Wow. Maybe I don't have a sense of humor, but you sure take yourself seriously. Thank you for taking the time to explain that too me. Your knowledge enbiggens us all.

Yeah. This was hilarious. My bad. Absolute cutting edge wit. Top Notch. Right up there with the 47th season of The Simpsons. Boy, Im roaring now that you told me its funny. Thanks!

What? This isnt doing it for you? That has to be 3 inches high!!! I know, because my.....nevermind.

And if they substitute the words "artisanal" or "synergy" I'll pin their arms back for you.

I think thats definitely true in the comments section. Everything gets so jumbled up that you cant get the context cos there is none. And I do actually appreciate you seeing me sizzling and trying to alleviate some of my "discomfort".

Can you show me where his attitude is anywhere near "these times are tough"? Or that perhaps its a commentary on how easy non-runners think it must be? If this is a joke than he's about as funny as a sharp stick in the eye. Or Daniel Tosh.

Oh, I see where he thinks this article is funny. I just don't see where its let on that this article is a joke. And apparently a fair number of people are like me, and aren't laughing WITH him.

Yeah!!! You call yourself a dinosaur? You look more like a goddamn sloth to me! Go back there and hangout with the 65 year old slugs who are running 9 minute miles. I want 26 reps. Fucking dinosaurs these days. No work ethic. I really fear for the dinosaurs of tomorrow.

Ray. I don't know you. I don't know of you. Perhaps I should. Perhaps you are the Lance Armstrong of the running world (though I will assume you have both 'nads and will make no assumptions about dope). Maybe you are legendary. If so, I apologize for my ignorance.

Thats right boys. Get high on your own supply! Burn it up Mothafuckas!!!! We'll see you again on the way back down. Im gonna buy me 40 acres of sand for less than what a tank of gas costs me right now.
