“I’m motivated by that ‘Not-seeing-my-family-high’ that many runners get after logging in a few miles on the pavement. It makes all the leg cramps, eroded cartilage, third-degree sunburn, pants crapping, and the intense stabbing pain that jets up through my spine every time I begin to move my feet all worth it.”
Logging a few miles on the pavement? Oh dear.
Must have been training for badwater or comrades.
how do people find that obscure site and think it's real? (comments are pretty funny)
Someone texted me the headline a few minutes before Bob posted it here. I suspect it is making the facebook or twitter rounds.

"When asked if he misses seeing his daddy, Skednick’s 10-year-old son quickly responds “Do you want to play Guitar Hero? Or go kill some ants?” before he darts into the other room to punch his sister in the back of her head."
and the fact that Jim Gaffigan compares the website to bacon - come on people. Get on the train and enjoy some breakfast.
Well, the comments are funny... but a few are so over-the-top (aka, "wait, you couldn't tell it was a joke?") that one wonders if the comments themselves are jokes. Very dry jokes. Like the comments you will find on certain products listed on amazon. "This chartreuse blouse CHANGED MY LIFE."
Anyway.

Is it all a spoof? Did it come from the Onion?
About 5% of the time I do an extra little run to escape my family - I love them, but sometimes it's good to go clear your head.
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

5% of DB's running equals more than most of our 100%.
