      Today I passed a truck advertising "Fish Gutter and Window Cleaning". Or maybe it was "Fish Window and Gutter Cleaning".

        legs were a little sore and toe was very sore. Streak is five years, since Dec 2, 2006.

          Not AP, who did hit 666 days yesterday though. Apparently not in the mile-a-day group either. hm.

              See your doctor if it lasts more than four hours.

                And then there are days like this when you wish you were running 40 miles; when the pace you pick feels easy; when nothing hurts, in fact everything feels good; when there are people around worth watching; when you remembered to glide and tape; when you try going faster and it feels even better; when you think you really shouldn't feel this way considering how the last 14 days have felt; and you realize that this is really how it should be way more often than it is. And you wonder why. And why not?

                  Ooooh.  I read and enjoyed that one.

                  I vote for the doughy one.

                    Yep.

                      I bonked at mile 2. MILE 2! Then, again at around 3, and once more around 4. I know my face was as red as a lobster's and I was sweating a ton. I ate a tiny bit for breakfast. Maybe that's why. No clue. This run was one of the worst ones EVER. Excluding all of the ankle twisting runs, it was the worst in my memory. Drinking wine to make it all go away.

                        That's surprising, on a dry forum like this.

                        It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

                              No - But why does the greatest 24 hour - 10 day racer in history have to tell us he is the greatest ... It has always irked me enough that I keep the page as a favorite everytime I need some aspiration to greatness - I just wish I could train hard enough to beat it - But like marathons - I do not have the DNA.  I just wish someone that did would step up.

                                Maybe this was a way to psyche out future runners attempting to break the record.  "If it is written, it must be true".  That or he is just arrogant.  Either way, you have to give him credit for such a ballsy quote, even if it is likely to be proven wrong...
