So this whole "running a marathon" thing? Turns out you have to train for it. And one of the ways you do that is to run really freaking far. Last Sunday was my first 20 mile run. I did it, but I faded pretty badly after about mile 18. By the end, I was hallucinating, thinking I had just killed a bunch of Soviets/Cubans (it's not really clear in "Red Dawn" either), so I raised my Gatorade bottle in the air and shouted "Wolverines!!!" At which point one of the other gym patrons shut off my treadmill and led me to the showers.Friday, December 5, 2008
