Nice work, Tony. You too Drew. You guys are turning up the snark dial pretty quick. Let's hope the running can keep up.

I wasn't trying to be snarky (this time). I was trying to be encouraging. Perhaps I'm a multitasker.

I used to think this was true (for me). Looking forward to meeting you in a few weeks, Tony.

Thanks Drew. My deal is that I have my son part of the week, so I usually don't run on those days. I'm definitely not complaining because I fought for what I got in regards to custody. You know, I just realized that your HM RR I commented on was a year old. Someone else commented on it and bumped it to the top, so I thought it was recent. Still it sounds like it was a good race even though it's a year old.

1) I thought I remembered that you had your son part of the week. No worries, dude. We all do what we do given our own circumstances, goals, etc. I don't run nearly as much (or as fast) as many of the people on this board, but I run for me and not them. I'm glad for you (and your son) that you get to spend time together. Coming from a divorced family, it would have been nice to have more time with my dad growing up. Big grin

2) That report resurfaced last week. I think half of the people that commented had no idea, and the other half were enjoying their little joke. It was a good race, but I've learned a lot since then (like how to run 2 min/mile slower). Wink

That's the little dirty secret of elitist prick-ism. To the uninitiated it sounds like we're being a bunch of snobby bastards. But once you understand, you realize that we tell ourselves the same shit that we're telling other people: you don't run hard enough, you don't run long enough, you're not tough enough. So, it's a form of encouragement, a sign of respect--treating the other as we treat ourselves. Snark = Encouragement.

Got it. I've been a prick for a long time, but still nowhere near being elite. I'll practice the lingo in front of the bedroom mirror.

Dumbass.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
