I Would Have Passed Out Around Mile 2

Darrell and Becky came up from San Antonio a few weekends ago to run in the 3M Austin Half-Marathon. Many of you may think that is admirable, to run 13 miles. But isn't it more admirable to show up and watch people run? When you could have slept in? No? Okay.

For the record, Darrell and Becky have two small children, so the easiest plan for them was to sleep for a few hours in own home, wake up at 3:30 a.m., drive for two hours, and then run. In honor of them, below is a picture of many tired people crossing the finish line.

The only way I will ever run 13 miles for fun is if you have someone chasing me. Or a steak at the end.

I wouldn't do it for a steak...and If something was chasing me...I'd probably die of running before it got to me..then it would eat me and I'd be dead anyhow...so why run to begin with?
