Nobody will remember:
- Your salary
- Your fancy title
- How ‘busy’ you were
- How stressed you were
- How many hours you worked
People will remember:
- The kudos you got on Strava
- Your creative titles for runs on Strava
- The segments where you were a local legend on Strava
Here's the cost of EVERYTHING I was wearing for Chicago.
Alphaflies: $200
2 straws: $0.10
Mechanical bird from Art of Play in Brooklyn: $15 million
Bloody nipples: $0
Handheld bottle: $30
Running socks: $18
And they say running is supposed to be one of the cheapest sports.
If people really could just live and let live, I'd be right there with you.
But these cases either successful followed by asshole behavior towards people going all in or failure followed by deceptive moral panics about endurance sports.
@Predamame NYC is different though. It isn’t just 26.2, but a party unlike any other marathon. I don’t think anyone should knock someone’s accomplishment nor should people gatekeep. Let people have their fun. Say ‘congrats’ and live your life.
My cousin ran the marathon yesterday. Found out today he didn’t train at all for it lol. And there are people that make running their identity and dedicate countless hours for the same shit? Lmaooooo
