Forums >Off the Beaten Path>Things people brag about that are unique to RA.
This is not something people brag about but I'm certain it is a common thought: "WTF is the swamp?"
The mystery continues.............for us uninitiates.
Why is it sideways?
The swamp is the 2000 mile group. So that instead of typing out "2000 mile forum" you can just write "the swamp." There, you've been initiated. Hopefully the hazing wasn't too unbearable.

Jeff is mean.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I know Jeff.
Runners run
I blame sportsjester.
"run" "2" "eat"
that's not very personally accountable, jeffer.

Was not too unbearable, assuming of course there is such a "swamp." Back in the day (alternate time space continuum in which a "swamp" may exist), you'd be greeted with a "Who the hell are you, creeperboy?" Not "anymore."

"As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man I have chalked up many a mile. Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks, And I've learned much from both of their styles." ~ Jimmy Buffett

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

I've seen the best finish face photo ever.

How much food they can ram down their gullet while power walking 100 miles at an 18 minute mile clip.
Or how they trained for two years to take 4 seconds off their best time for 3.1 miles.
Or, worse, how they trained for seven years and took zero seconds off their best time for 3.1 miles.
Or how they don't believe in the metric system.
Oh, I believe in the metric system. It's the biomimetic system I have trouble with.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Had to stop and take a dump about a mile into the run.
This stopped being unique when you logged your second or maybe third run on RA.
Your patented "shit kit" was priceless, though.
