Hardcore (Read 470 times)

My legs are killing me
Ok it's 32 degrees out here and I just saw a guy out running with only his shoes and shorts. No shirt. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. And I thought I was tough running in this weather in shorts and 3 layers of shirts and a wool hat.

I feel like a real whimp now.

There's a fine line between hardcore, and stupid.

I have one word for folks like that.

ostentatious

I have two words for that. One ends in -ing and the other ends in -hole. Tongue

I saw a girl running around here in similar temperatures in a sports bra and shorts. I don't care how fast you are...unnecessary.

Undertrained. LAME.
If there is no wind, I will run in shorts at 32 degrees. Though I will also be wearing one or two long sleeve shirts as well. topless is crazy.

So much for my brilliance.

wha'd she look like? It could be totally necessary.

No, Hardcore is not how you dress. Hardcore is 140 to 180 mpw with 3 to 5 hard workouts a week. And getting outside no matter the weather. Or running on the dreadmill in the basement, staring at the wall for 2 hours a day every day. Hardcore is giving up favorite foods, drink, comfort, society, and sanity in the singular pursuit of some apex that may or may not be attainable.

I will consider obessor hardcore when he hits 400 or more miles this month. Wink

Dude, Mr. obsessor, seriously, you are running a bunch! Is there a point? Okay, you are reaching for some APEX! What are you eating to fuel all these runs? Did you have one massive Christmas Feast!

Yea... I'll never be hardcore. I'd rather be happy and content and enjoying running then needlessly suffering. Just MHO. Smile

The guy with no shirt is not hardcore. He's a showoff. Unless he's flabby but manly. Then he's hardcore.

The girl is hardcore. Or fast. It's amazing how close to naked the elite marathoners are on a painfully cold day. I'm wearing 3 sweatshirts and a burka, they're wearing a singlet and shorts. I guess they can outrun the cold.

My opinion on the girl may be biased by my natural sexist piggism.

If she lost the bra, she be showing off, too. Or really hardcore. I can't decide.

Maybe these freaks are training for the Michigan Naked Mile. It was 37°F back when I ran it; needless to say, I was...unprepared.

One of the only U of Mich traditions I approve of. And I can't believe I never did it. I didn't even go watch.

I am ashamed.
