    That being said - I did not see where the article mentioned RA or the Swamp ?

      Runners run.

          And I thought you were just another one of the guys.  Little did I know you used to be two guys.

           

          Great article and great job.

           

          The tangents are moot.

          Set the bar low. Crawl under it.

            Congratulations.


            Post in the Before/After thread and they can lock it down.

              That. Is. Awesome.

               

              congratulations, Doug.  Amazing work.

              Yes, I do "run in this."  So should you.  The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.

                    Doug.

                     

                    Seriously - that is the single most inspiring thing that I have seen this year.

                     

                    Thanks mate.  I will run tomorrow.

                     

                    I showed the article to my wife.... she simply said "Fucking hell..... I mean... fucking hell!!!"

                        Wow, Doug - what an inspiration you are. I feel honored that I got the chance to run with you

                            So if A is part of the set of B

                            Press for A = Press for B

                             

                            Anyway ... I have printed this article out for future reference.  The next time some one that is out of shape and over weight wants to try and tell me they "Can't do it" - It will be my weapon to tell them they can and they should start today!

                              One does not have to mention the Swamp to mention the Swamp.  It's not a place, a haven, or a thing of which to be a subset.

                               

                              The Swamp is all of us, and we are all the Swamp.

                               

                               

                               

                              In unrelated news, I'm running the World 24-hour championships next month.
