Occasional Runner
Some of these sound familiar and a few have popped right out of my own mouth.
How about you?

Haha these are good. My draft RR for the Ugly Mudder specifically calls out #11 - wore the wrong shoes!
Not saying it would have been much easier with trail shoes...but I wore road shoes on a slick snowy course. Not my best call.
I like #8, "my legs hurt"

I think I like #13 the best. That damned lead pack is gonna screw up for somebody every time!!!

I guess we have all said some of those things. I think my next thing is just going to be, "I must just suck at this!!!" That was my brother's excuse at Rocky Raccoon. LOL.
Are we there, yet?
Excellent. Now I have a list to use for trail races as well as track and road races.

06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.

Every single Pretzel City Sports race, someone complains to Ron about the course distance being "off". Since a lot of you know Ron, you can only guess how he ridicules that person. I witnessed it 2 times (Double Trouble and Half-Wit Half), and it was classic.
As for me, I'm great at #7 - every race is just a training run for my next race.
“Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!

Well I sure read a lot of these on this forum....I've said a few myself.
Where's I drank too much last night?
05/13/23 Traverse City Trail Festival 25K
08/19/23 Marquette 50 dns 🙄
Faster Than Your Couch!
Run for fun.
The aid stations only had Heed.
It's too hot.
I forgot my arm panties.
There are too many rocks on this course.
I've been injured the last few months.
Who put the zero at the end of my 5k?
In dog beers, I've only had one.
and shouldn't this be #1?
And it's corollary.. I didn't drink enough last night.
- The pizza for dinner last night must have been bad.
I used this one at the American River 50 last year.
You should have come to my house...then it would have been..I drank too much last night!
PS...it was on a bike path! yucK!
