i don't even know you people and I'm considering the Monkey for next year. The forces of persuasion here are scary.

 

But really, I'm looking for a fall race. I've been considering Chicago, GMM- even NC-24. So far, Nashville's the only destination that has perked the husband's ears.  But damn it looks painful.

Painful yes. 

But the side bennies are worth it. 

Or you can do one of the rock & roll things. They're really good if you have too much money and need to get rid of some of it.

 Yeah.  I refuse to spend $135 on my local marathon.  Instead I fly , rent a car, get a hotel for 4 nights and only spend $80 for the marathon part.  Those rat bastards arent getting my money.

Never.

 

Ever.

 

Ever.

Trust a fart.

I've been through this thread three times now, and I'm still laughing, knowing that every time Ennay reads this it goes through her head as

"Nevah.

Evah.

Evah.

Trust a faht."

What you have failed to learn yet is that you cannot train for Monkey ... 

 

Seriously - It is just like ultra-running,  Walk the ups, jogs the downs ...

 

They have an early start option for those who feel bad about not getting one of the 1st beers at noon -

I tried not training this year.  IT DIDN"T FRICKIN WORK !! My legs are still sore, almost two weeks later. 

Walk the ups, jog the downs.  By the end the downs were more painful than anything else - walking or jogging.  Gravity sucks. 

And even with the early start I still missed the keg tapping and most of the Hefeweizen. 

 

BTW I find it really f'd up that I only see you when we both fly halfway across the country to Nashville.   Of course I dont run anymore really, but still.

You PROMISED me we were going to run more this year.  At least so we could die more quickly next year.

Still Happy afterwards too!

Monday kinda hurt though.

True. These smiles were fake:
