And since two non-commenters have asked me now: The "shit" references are strictly metaphorical.<BR/><BR/>Yes, runners punishing themselves sometimes experience the <I>other</I> kind of "shitty" problems. But I'm pleased to say that wasn't the case for me.<BR/><BR/>No "Sex In The City" disasters for this guy.Jason Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150199580478147196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163321594858726822.post-56850091199723111102008-10-30T10:46:00.000-04:002008-10-30T10:46:00.000-04:00Excellent piece here, Jason.

Well done!<BR/><BR/>It was great that the movies in your head helped you get through the race.

Not to worry. I agree with hokahey: What a clever concept and a memorable post.<BR/><BR/>"As tired as Robin Williams." I love that!<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on an amazing run, as well as the continued excellence of your blog.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735634558776498316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163321594858726822.post-59384572396790385932008-10-27T20:26:00.000-04:002008-10-27T20:26:00.000-04:00What an awesome achievement and what a memorable d...What an awesome achievement and what a memorable depiction of your challenge. With the vivid picture you present of your run and all the great movie allusions (my favorite was the Charlize Theron comparison), reading this post was more entertaining and more memorable than watching "The Happening" ... or "The MIracle at St. Anna" ... or "Indiana Jones" ... or... Has this year in film been that bad? Who cares when the Cooler runs a marathon! Congratulations.Richard Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397053921647421425noreply@blogger.com
