Lol I tried warning y’all that it was hilly when y’all were trying to pick one.

Man it was the only one that was scheduled for sure when I picked.

Not as familiar as y’all are now lol

My knees are shot and I’m worried about a stress fracture in my right foot but otherwise I feel like a million bucks

My wife has a deep bruise the size of a softball on her shin.

Run a marathon, they said.

It’ll be fun, they said.

Well done boys, can’t imagine taking that on but more power to you. I’d be up for all the terrain/obstacle runs or challenges but I’d never even entertain a marathon. I think I might prefer to be waterboarded.

PS: hope the “movements“ are ok for the next 24 hours.

I’d argue this was more of a terrain run than a marathon, TBH. When I started out to prep for a marathon, I did so with the intention of running the entire time with a goal of a certain finishing time range in mind. That literally went out the window sometime around 8:30 on Saturday morning. That’s what I get for picking a race out of thin air, though.

By the way...if y’all have Amazon Prime, check out the documentary “The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats It’s Own.” Set in almost the exact place Brown and I were at this weekend. Fantastic.

It definitely wasn’t a run in the sense of running. It was more obstacle course than run. A very unique experience I’m glad to have.

I’m about to watch that show on Amazon. F that chain smoking bastard tho

 

[TBreazy]

That was certainly a microcosm of the experience

Full marathons aren’t known to be the best for your body

Do the full bro. Get that true marathon experience and the time to go with it.

Apparently Little Rock (close to me) and Disney (probably cool) have really easy marathons. I might save the full for that and just take in the St Jude experience with a half.

There are many things from this weekend I won’t soon forget but I will never in my life forget seeing that dude blow by me around 18.5 miles. What a sight to behold.
