Most people are able to avoid situations where they are required to run X distance in Y time. How did this happen to you?

I'm always amazed at how quick Deadspin is with this stuff. I live in Houston and we just heard about this an hour ago. I fully expect that in ten years, Timothy Burke will be posting awesome gifs of sports moments that haven't happened yet created by people who have not yet been born.

My husband lovingly teases me that what is running to me is walking or speedwalking to everyone else. I'm fat and have short…
