I felt the same way in my two marathons and also (to a lesser extent) in most of my half marathons. I agree with you about the mental aspect taking over, and I think that explains why I feel like I’m about to fall apart at around mile 12 of a half-marathon but don’t feel the same way until about mile 23 or 24 of a…

But what does accountable mean in this particular instance? This is gross behavior, it is absolutely an example of toxic masculinity/boys club/patriarchy, but it also doesn’t seem egregious enough for him to resign over.

ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?

Saw the video on the evening news. It certainly looked to me like he was flying pretty recklessly, and outside of the parameters suggested by Icon (300 ft above water/ground). I’m sure this plane is a lot of fun to fly, and the marketing of it certainly emphasizes the stunt flying, but that’s no reason to forget one’s…

There’s rich, there’s rich-rich and then there’s “accuse an elite athlete of faking a need for medical attention while consuming a trunkload of pharmaceuticals” rich..

oh geez, what was I thinking? I guess I divided 3.1 miles into 42k..... ;-)

Consider running a 5:40 mile. Then a 17:00 5k. you’d have to hold that pace for 13 5ks to approach what she did today.

It’s sad how deep into running you need to be to truly appreciate this sort of effort. Anybody on the couch can say “fuck that’s crazy” but unless you’re on the road 40 miles a week you’re probably not capable of understanding how much everything hurts sometimes. And at 40 miles a week you’re lower than whale shit on…

“I fought to protect the freedoms you enjoy in this country, so you better stop fucking enjoying them!”

Am I looking at the right picture? Sure looks like a whole lot of Michigan doctors who were the ones that let a player with a cracked vertebrate STAND and WALK off the field.

Plenty of blame to go around here. Full disclosure, I went to Purdue as did my father, brother, sister and neice. My nephew is a student there and I’ve had football season tickets for the last 20 years.

The Michigan medical staff WALKED him off of the field.

The Deadspin commenters should form some sort of justice league/high court to preside over the simpletons throughout the earth. Everyone knows these brave internet commenters are smarter and more morally sound than any official, administrator, politician, etc. Purdue would have a Siemens 3T MRI installed in the…

My favorite part of Bobby Finger’s rundown is that he doesn’t know who Beth Stern is, made me giggle (which was desperately needed today).

I’m not defending sexual harassment - if you have to still say that - but this idea that you have to call out every single guy that’s ever done anything sleazy is a slippery slope.

My wife only uses fake twitter accounts to try to slide into my DMs. Keeps me on my toes.

Yeah, but you’d be hard pressed to spend a more satisfying $6. When we had hulu and jumped commercial free, I couldn’t understand why anyone would think saving that difference was good for their sanity.

Also, they run on battery power and need to be recharged every 36 hours or so. How exactly did that happen on her solo hike through long stretches of isolated terrain? Not exactly lots of power outlets in the middle of the wilderness. The braces are also not built to get wet, and pretty much everyone who hiked the PCT…

This sounds like the whitest problem in the world.

Not only did she hike the whole trail, she’s also my girlfriend.
