    Did you run the 15k yesterday or is it at some point in the future?

    I joined the Running Room 10k progam a bunch of years ago and the first night we had to run 7k! I'd never run before so it took me about three hours! By the end of the course I was able to run a 12.2k, but my knees were on fire for weeks! Oh, and I was dead last, but at least I finished it!

    i am doing a half marathon in september in the hamptons, ny!

    why? because i finally can! since may of 2008 i've lost just about 100lbs and i am 15lbs away from being a "normal" bmi. i beat my friends on a 2 mile shamrock run which amazes me cause they were always in shape.
    i have never felt this good physically in my life and being able to do a half marathon is exciting to me~

    Doing a marathon is some type of rite of passage for white people after a major event in their life. Their girlfriend will dump them, somebody dies, they have an epiphany about global warming, etc. They'll write a bunch of poetry that no one wants to read, and then they'll bounce back by entering into a marathon (usually followed by traveling abroad). I don't understand this white person phenomenon.

    I just thought it would be fun I am already in pretty good shapek, so doing this won't be very difficult. Plus there is a sweet ass party after at the local brewery, which may be the real reason I'm doing it.

    I decided in January I would run the Peachtree Road Race here in Atlanta. It's a 10k. Up to that point, I hadn't run so much as a mile in 8 years. Good luck.

    Stuff White People Like
    #27 - Marathons

    In life, there are certain milestones of physical activity that can define you. A sub 5 second 40 yard dash, a 40 inch vertical leap and so forth. To a white person, the absolute pinnacle of fitness is to run a marathon. Not to win, just to run.

    White people will train for months, telling everyone who will listen about how they get up early in the morning, they run when it rains, how it makes them feels so great and gives them energy.

    When they finish the marathon, they will generally take a photo of themselves in a pair of New Balance sneakers, running shorts, and their marathon number with both hands over their head in triumph (seriously, look it up, this is universal).

    They will then set goals like running in the Boston Marathon or the New York Marathon.

    If you find yourself in a situation where a white person is talking about a marathon, you must be impressed or you will lose favor with them immediately. Running for a certain length of time on a specific day is a very important thing to a white person and should not be demeaned.

    Also worth nothing, more competitive white people prefer triathlons because Kenyans can’t afford $10,000 specialty bicycles. If the subject ever comes up, just say that triathletes are in better shape than football and basketball players. It’s not true, but it will make the conversation a lot more genial.
