False dichotomy.

(think about it)

What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes.

heh (even without the hint)

Props to Flourcity for continuing on the trail even after the race is lost. Not that this race is ever won.

Oh shit. My rolling 7 day total is 49.4 miles. I should have stayed out for another 5 minutes today I guess. But anyway I hardly ever pull 50 mile weeks so why start now.

Hardly ever. I've had 6 high gravity beers today. I'm about to run the 4.5 to finish my double and put me at 50 miles...then me and onionbag are going to get even drunker. I will win...something...a drunk medal?

Well Skootr, you're the reason this whole thing started. TT said that you couldn't do 50/50 and I said that it was child's play and put my money on you. I never had any doubts. Nice work.

Well my argument to anyone would be to look at the drink totals. I really haven't been a mess this week, yet I destroyed everyone drink wise, and I was forced to take 2 days off to prevent injury, but still hit 50. My point: Dear Thndr: don't call me no sissy. Dick.

The 100/100 is not far off, I just have to decide when I can afford that kind of marital bankruptcy...before or after kid....I was planning on after, but I'm thinking, once she can't sleep, perhaps she'll need me more and she will be able to forgive such selfish indiscretions...maybe it'll happen this summer

Dude, you do have an advantage by being able to juice it up at work. Spreading them out is key. It definitely helps when you gotta do 100. Weekdays when I'm working I have about a 3 - 4 hour window. That's it.

Jesus.....you wanna talk about a mess? I went to Richos for Gravity Head (all high gravity beer festival) to meet OnionBag and Strings n 88 Keys, and man, it was like walking into a bear trap. Granted they had been drinking since 9am, but I had the same number of beers as them and felt next to nothing. I had to drive them home. This contest is really embarrassing more than anything! Every time I add to the total it goes one notch away from feeling badass into feeling sad...nevertheless...suck it, sissies; )

MTA: for the record, Onionbag was relatively together....even though I had to drive him home. But I am planning on getting drunk at his place tonight, so I need to save face Wink

Let me also not recommend running after 6 10%abv beers. It sucks.
