-What is the best underwear to wear that will cause the least amount of discomfort?

-Do you eat before hand? If so, do you wake up at 6 am to eat some oatmeal and then go back to sleep so that you don’t get a stitch in your side?

-Great, it’s raining. How many layers do I wear? How many layers should I wear?

-I guess you’re going to be that person who needs to cut to the front of the line because I’m totally late.

-Why am I doing this?

-Why am I doing this?

-OK, I literally cannot feel my thighs. I might be dying.

-Now I’ve turned into a member of the Ministry of Silly Walks. At lest I can feel my thighs again.

-I have no idea where I am. I have no idea how far I’ve gone. I have no idea what my name is. I have no idea what’s going on. But this podcast is making me cry so at least I have that going for me, I guess.

-Wait, I think I know where we are!

-Good new: I definitely know where we are and I know how much farther to go. Bad news: I running up the steepest hill known to man. I mean, it’s gotta be steeper than Grouse Mountain or Everest or a sheer face of the Dover cliffs. Or something like that.

-Sweet sweet downhill. Kick it up for the last little bit.

-I am so hungry. It is TORTURE to run through these apple orchards while so hungry. It’s just not fair. Seriously. Who does this to people?

-Holy #(%&@), I ran this thing in 2:45!
