Go as fast as you can for as long as you can…

…this is JRR Tolkein’s marathon motto. He’s shooting to BQ. I think he can do it. Just avoid weights until after the marathon (see below).

Work is busy and I can’t really think of anything creative right now. I do want to say that people are weird. Yesterday, we all read about the Mad Pooper. Today, I read about this meathead. Just another way to show how lifting weights can injure you. For both of these stories, there has to be a logical explanation, right? Negative. It’s just weird people.

So, here’s a question: Would you rather have story #1 happen every time you ran for the rest of your life (you are the Mad Pooper) or have what happened in story #2 just once in your life?

It’s not even a discussion … #2 as in the weights, not #2 as in the hand signal going to bathroom.

Thanks for the confidence BW. No BQ guarantee, but I do guarantee that if you track my mile splits for NYC you will be entertained.

Donut run backblasts are the best.

I have faith in Tolkien. If he can motivate me (and half of F3) to PR a 5k, he’s a lock to qualify.

I’m not even sure how #2 happens. What muscle group was he hitting? #2 would be really embarrassing, but over quickly. #1 would stay with you for life. But, you can always choose not to go for a run…

I’ll have to go with #2, couldn’t imagine having to be the mad pooper the rest of my life. Although that presents another reason running is an bad idea.
