Sigh, i was stoned

...so I thought it would be a good idea to tell one of Andy's friend's very in-shape-looking wife I wanted to do a 10k or half marathon with her....
FUCK!!!!!
I haven't ran a 10K in 4 years and haven't ran a half marathon in 7...
This just sucks...

 

Stoned or not, what the hell? haha

 

I walked two miles the other day, wasn't as hard as it seemed.

 

good for you . yeah, I have no idea why. Being unemployed makes me crave socialization I guess and I am so afraid of gaining all of my weight back after Andy's deployed.

 

Here's a WHACKY idea: tell her that you were stoned and that you want to do something like that, but that it's really too much for you right now considering you haven't run a 10-mile marathon in 4 years.

 

wise man

 

that would be something the husband would say

 

exactly! just tell her you changed your mind.. you don't even have to tell you were stoned.. just be like.. oh! nope! don't feel like it anymore.. why not? none of your business..

 

At my age there has to be something pretty damn deadly chasing me before I'll run.

 

Depending how far it is away..get in shape and run it..10k is not that far..6.2 miles

 

there is three hundred miles between you and her too honey, but I am sure she will understand when you tell her that you havent run in a long time.

 

nah dude, a few months ago i was at a park and saw these people doing a cross country marathon here in hilly southern indiana....there was a water/break point and i saw this really old dude stop for like two minutes to sip some water and he was talking to the people saying he was 70 years old, doing it to prove to himself he could. it was nuts!

but yeah, personally i can't envision running for any reason other than being chased (an animal, a killer, a cop, whatever)

yeah, i'd say tell her you were stoned and don't think you could do a 10k or half marathon with her but that you'd like to maybe get back into running and it would be fun if she'd consider helping you get ready to do something more managable, like a 5k

 

oh whoops, didn't read the part saying you don't live in the same area lol

 

you should definitely do it. though you will probably need to stop smoking weed, but imo the runner's high is the better high

my brother is working his way up to do an ironman triathlon. when he finally gets there I don't give a damn if he comes in last place, I will be so proud. I already am.

 

ugh I hate running..

 

I love running in 105 degree Austin heat.

 

you cwayyzy!!!!

*dives in the pool*

 

makes diving in the pool 10000% more refreshing

 

I do pilates before the pool

 

That, is REALLY good advice.
