That's just what you want, right Jody?

Because then you could steal my identity and win races in my name. I'm on to you sister.

Thanks for the encouragement Peter.

And in case you were wondering, I was one of the first to join your Facebook group: Older, Fatter, Slower. I might have to add Cheater to that list.

This is an awesome post – Congrats, Tara!! I came in third in my age group once in my life in a race in Jersey – like, 20 people ran it. When you run in NYC all the time, you ain't winnin' sh*t. The key, as you said – find small races. Good job!

Posting your shoe size and now your weight to your blog. My traditionalist sensibilities are all bunched up! Your social security number can only be next.

I've found the Hulk Hogan legdrop on kids both effective and popular!

That race looks like fun. I especially like the aid stations where you have to drink a beer and eat a hot dog.

Good luck and let me know how it goes. You are one of my favorite big men around…

Why do kids think they can get away with that shit? I know, I know…they may not know any better. But geez.

Also? I have no problem calling out little shits when I encounter them.

The comment from the 9-yr-old is the best. It reminds me of a comment I got from a girl (I would guess 11 or so) around mile 20 of the Denver Marathon a few years back: “Is this your second time around? The first people went by a long time ago.”
