Run the first 20 miles of a marathon like this and you’ll set a personal best every race.

Yesterday, New England 13.1 in Concord, NH. Goal was < 1:20, oh well. Usually do my due diligence w/ race plans & mention of the ~1 mile rail trail got by me. 🫨 Team @DirigoRC

Here is a video of taco bell 50k ultra marathon in Denver Colorado. They had to run to 10 different taco bells and had to eat a menu item at 9/10 taco bells. They have 11 hours to finish the race. 📹: road_to_leadville on IG #food #Marathon #funny #Colorado

Hey, there’s a canoe emoji. 🛶 #BqChat
A man is running the Twin Cities Marathon carrying a canoe to protest a federal push to allow mining in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota. Here he is at Mile 18.

While true, I find tuning in to watch the random freshman try to kick a field goal for a million $ to be entertaining. 🏈 🤑
College gameday in a nutshell: “Ohio state is good “Michigan is good” “Notre dame is good” *SEC talk for about a whole hour* “Here are some teams from the big12, I guess” “What is better? SEC or big10?” -Pat mcafee takes his shirt off -Kirk’s dog shows up The end.

En esta carrera, la única regla es tener una circunferencia mínima de 120 centímetros de estómago. Así fue la primera carrera de panzones en #Etla, #Oaxaca; el ganador se llevó mil 500 pesos:

Yesterday, the Call to Duty Memorial 10K (Gorham, NH). Gun time: 35:15. Overall: 2/48. Mile pace: 5:41. A reminder to myself there will forever be, at a minimum, 1 person faster than me in every race. 🤬And maybe that’s ok. 😤 calltodutymemorial.carrd.co/ #BqChat

Have forever driven by one on the MA Pike, coming West to East, always wanting to do it (just once). 😂
Uh so this just happened.

There might be some of that. But me also thinks that if you’ve got kind of a funny last name, some others are just pointing that out. 🤔
Calling you exclusively by your last name is a high honor in male culture

Too long. No one's saying your time wouldn't be better on an accurate course + you can rely on the result if need be (ie, qualifier). #BqChat
Would you rather race a course that’s slightly too short or slightly too long? Too short and your PR feels fake. Too long and you know you ran faster than your PR says. I honestly can’t decide which one is worse.

I was stuck on either 13.1 or 26.2 for a decade+. And I was wrong. #BqChat
I find it odd when I meet marathoners that have never raced other distances. Marathons are great but our sport has way more to offer.

Well, if an inaccurate measurement did occur, better that it was too long. #BqChat
Edmonton Marathon says course was measured accurately: runningmagazine.ca/sections/…

Any PlayStation Destiny 2 players? My wife & I have been stuck in The Cosmodrome/The Steppes for too long. Not because we can’t beat bad guys. Just not advancing, Groundhog Day vibes. Setting Waypoints, like “Shaw Han”. Still nothing. AI’s not helping. What are we missing?
