Ok, you don’t like me, and I don’t like you…
…but lets just make the best of our time together. Truth be told, running on a treadmill isn’t so bad (especially when its in your house; thanks, in-laws!) I just need to cue up some more podcasts and/or music to make the time go a little quicker.

The terrible and wonderful reasons why I run long distances – The Oatmeal
The terrible and wonderful reasons why I run long distances – The Oatmeal. Epic! I think my favorite quote was “They say you should treat your body like a temple… I treat mine like a fast-moving dumpster.” Other winners include, “I run long distances to feel good, not to look good” and “But that’s how…

Yep, running still sucks.

The Walkman Evolved
Interesting. I like my few generation old iPod shuffle, but the headphone cord slapping all over my back when running is annoying. Must investigate these further. As with all ear bud style headphones, I need ginormous cups to stay secure in my cavernous ear canals.

101-Year-Old Marathoner
101-Year-Old Man Retires From Running Marathons, Shaming You. The gems in there are: that he didn’t start running until he was 89. even though he’s giving up competition, he still plans to run 4 hours a day. “I take happiness in biggest proportions though my actual diet is very small.”
