Being drunk and/or high is the only way I'd ever run a marathon if I could actually run a marathon, which I can't. But I loved the story because when you think of long-distance runners you picture them as so serious. So it was refreshing to see a marathoner lighten up and have some fun!!
After all the time you put into training for a marathon, it’s pretty stupid to accept things from people on the sidelines. I am running my 34th and 35th half marathons in the next six months, leading up to my 5th marathon in October, which means hours and hours on the road accumulating mileage. No way am I risking all that time on a drink of something from a stranger on the sidelines.
I am seldomly serious in races as I am past the point of worrying about hitting a time or pace, say hello to most people I pass, give high fives along the way. But I am very careful about what I eat or drink. Digestive issues can quickly sideline a race you just spent four or five months training for. Not worth the race
My mother passed from cancer and I’ve always gone to get screened earlier than normal. My dad encouraged me to get dna tested for cancer and I never did honestly for fear of knowing but also for fear of knowing and then having it used against me for insurance coverage. It is such a terrible system and cancer will never be cured because there is no money in making it go away. So sad
If only the Israeli hostages could post their 'day in the life' on TikTok. Oh, wait, they're being held against their will by a brutal terrorist organization that randomly decides to kill a few whenever they feel like it.

Years ago Tour de France bike riders drank wine instead of water. No wonder it became popular!!

Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor never the tormented.
