running thread meets diet thread

For anyone who suggested running is worthless:

You quote a running blog who has a short entry about runners being sexy?  That's like me writing a goEMAW blog about how goEMAW mods are effing amazing in the sack and amazing looking and amazing chefs and amazing friends (which coincidentally is all true)

Ya, was just sorta going through the motions until this post.  Dead on, SD nails it.  Factually accurate.

AwardWallet.com is amazing too.

I also, I ran a marathon cold turkey when I was in my mid-20s (Rockin' K!).

Cold Turkey is when you give up (or quit) a habit or an addiction, no?

I guess I gave up not running marathons? (but only for like six hours or so and then BAM! right back on the wagon).

swim instead.  do you live near an ocean?  if not, move or buy a bike.

Cut me a little slack, there is a link to a non-runner source (Harvard School of Public Health) that gives some credibility. Also, Playboy said runners make the best lovers and who can argue with Playboy?

Think the 98 college football season can argue with Playboy.

I dated a cross-country chick in college. She was pretty hot, but she was always eating snack cakes and stuff (not a lesbo reference). So, I was pretty sure she was gonna end up superfat and gross.

Yes.  They are always very skinny and disgusting.  You see their veins and weird muscle knots on their legs. They always have a weird sunken in stomach and visible rib cage.

I'll say it again a whole lot of fat lazy losers, trying to make themselves feel better in this thread.  Have fun with you heartattacks at the age of 45.  Go eat some processed meats and watch T.V. all day.  When you go to the Dr and they weigh you and the scale says GTFO don't come to me fatso's.

[steve dave]

runners seem very defensive about their ugliness too

[PandaXpanda]

runners also seem very defensive about their ugliness too

it's the veins, they numb the mind. the god damn veins.

Tommy, I recommend taking up sprinting.  On top of making more sense it doesn't make you disgusting:

[pissclams]

i bet if tommy used jamar's running style he would minimize the impact to his joints

I know the type. She probably remained hot until marriage, and now weighs at least 100 pounds more than she did when you dated her.

I've always thought tennis players have the best bodies.

Plus, it doesn't take as long. win/win.

Plus, if you are in a hurry, sprinting can come in handy in day to day life.  Like, you drive the 20 miles as opposed to jogging it like a dumbass and then sprint from the parking lot to the door.  You shave, like, hours off the marathoners running time to get to the same destination.

Pool?

Agree with sys, swimming is great. Makes me very hungry though, so I end up eating a huge meal after I swim.

Not to mention sprinting's clear advantages in basic survival skills. Mugger? Sprint. Fire? Sprint. The runs? Sprint. No one ever "jogs" for their life. Maybe if you were being threatened by an extremely slow but exceptionally determined bear.

Not sure what kind of life you live but I make nearly half my income on Real World Road Rules Challenges, and being able to steadily jog long distances is much more important than sprinting.

I do not recommend swimming to black people.
