Ben is running the SF marathon on 7/26. Ben is getting too old for this shit. Download the app and watch my pace slowly dwindle into bittersweet oblivion. Have a second breakfast drenched in syrup whilst I grind my joints away for sport and get angry at the hairless 18 year old runners in their short-shorts and effortlessly faster paces. Bask in the knowledge that Ben hates to exercise in the morning and his wave starts before 6am.

Common questions:
Have you been training? no, I attempt to, but then give up and watch netflix. I suffer from the delusion that I am still the same as I was a decade ago.
Why are you doing this to yourself? to eviscerate that last shred of hope in my soul that keeps telling me that I'm not that old and could totally qualify for Boston if I really wanted to. Also, so when people ask if I have run a marathon, I can just say "yes" instead of the "I've run 26 miles in one sitting, but never in a race" answer. People really get perplexed by that. I don't know why. Then I feel like I need to follow it up with a story, but there isn't one. I just ran a lot in Eugene. One day I just kept running cause I was bored.
How does Family Circus still have a comic in the newspaper? I seriously don't know. It kills me a little inside each time I see its still there.
