    Boston is net downhill.


    Boston is at least in the top 2 or 3 most famous marathons in the world and none of the others are net downhill.


    Therefor one can safely say that Boston is the most famous downhill marathon.

    Runners run

      I must approve of all downhill marathons brat attempts to conquer. A picture and short description would suffice. For now.


      1983

        Ben is now officially my favorite poster on RA.

         

        That is all.

         

        Surprised that nobody picked up on the fact that Ben probably is Trent and vice versa....

         

        In fact, there may just be one person on RA.  Maybe we are all just part of Eric's elaborate puppet show.

         

        Maybeeeeee, Eric doesn't even exist......ahhhhhhhhhh  I can't take it anymore...

                I am usually good for about 3 hours.

                I have an okay job with benefits, 401k, and health insurance.

                I am open to moving.

                I have gone as long as 27 hours, though it became very uncomfortable.

                I am healthy.

                  I have gone as long as 27 hours, though it became very uncomfortable.

                   

                  I can imagine it would get uncomfortable.  27 hours is a long time to go without sex.  Aren't you supposed to call a professional when that happens?


                  I'm noboby, who are you?

                    I will be eating Panera for lunch.

                        I just noticed they sell Panera soup at costco.  There you go Trent, you can now have Panera in your very own home in massive quantities

                            A story.  My in laws moved to town a few years back.  I married their only daughter, so rather than retire to Miami, they came to Nashville.  Not too terribly long ago, they bought us a CostCo membership.  My wife loves it, and so therefore so must I.  Middle of last year, my wife went to CostCo and bought a crock pot.  I do most of the cooking in our home and we had no need for a crock pot.  Least of all one from CostCo.  But now I had one in my life, sitting on the counter right next to the 9-pack of underripe, overpackaged and rotting magoes, triple sized boxes of cereal and ginormous bags of tasteless raw veggies.  Well, I now use that CostCo crock pot 2-3 times per week.  It is awesome.  My wife was right.  I was wrong.  And every time I use it, and every time I relate this story, I get husband points.

                             

                            But I won't be cooking Panera soup in the CostCo crock pot.

                                Man, the beans I cook up in that crock pot sure are great.  Sometimes I grate cheese over them.  Good stuff.
