    Saw this today, from The Oatmeal, and since many of us started out as marathon runners it's worth a good chuckle.

     

    DOs and DO NOTs of running your first marathon

      I have never run a marathon, but I might forward the link to my co-worker who will be running her first marathon in October!

      Run for fun.

        My new favorite phrase:

         

        "Ass-o-clock in the morning".  I think that is my least favorite thing about races...

         

        A close 2nd is those super chatty people that want to chat when I am clearly giving off all polite non-verbals that I am not in the mood to chat.  Guess I should start running with headphones when I am in curmudgeon mode.

        Just because I look dumb doesn't mean I'm not...

            The guy who writes The Onion is an ultrarunner.

             

            I've seen this guy at many ultras.

              For some reason I find those cartoons disturbing. But of course I am a curmudgeonly social misfit!

              In dog beers, I've only had one.

                    Oh, riiiiight. I forgot.

                     

                    +1 on the chatty people. At the OC100, the chatting would not stop for the first 2 or 3 hours, by then I was super-charged and had some excess energy to spend on picking up the pace, just to escape from the constant "noise".

                    Run for fun.
