Second place is just the first loser
So I knew it was a bad marathon. But I had no idea how bad until my wife decided she would be wonderful and look it up.
I have a number of excuses for this including having a broken bone in my foot (I think - I get my cast off tomorrow and we will have a better idea) Besides, that site doesn’t show that I was absolutely the freakin toughest guy who finished. I am pretty sure I was number one in that.
The truth is I will never be the best marathon runner in the world. I am short, fat, there is a good word for that “Fubsy”. My body is better suited for picking up heavy things and using a mouse (the typing and clicking muscles in my forearms are very powerful). I am still stoked I did it even if I was almost dead last. Loads of people didn’t finish and even more didn’t even enter.
