That’s 26.1!26.2!

Edited by Jon - Can you tell who has only run a half marathon (12.113.1 miles) so far? I’m workin’ on it. :)

Second Edit: Things are just not working out today at all.

    Hey Jon- I read somewhere that you had ITBS and used the Pat strap thingamabob. Did it work?

    good point Bill. that .2 is a killer to get through.

    and this cartoon is BANG on accurate in terms of how organizations work.

    I’d do it. But not for the pointy haired boss.

    I think it’s funny that the .2 extra was added to appease royalty.

    I think you also mean 13 (as in 13.2 for a Half). Silly Jon.

    Or maybe even 13.4 by the time you reach the real starting line. Hehe, just trying to add to the confusion. ;) Hope your day got better in terms of things working out.

    i’d like to suggest another change ;)

    the word “only” should be removed. 99% of people will never run “only” a half marathon. :)

    ain’t we pains in the arses?

    Hi Jon- You’re one of the most likely dudes I know to succeed at his next big thing. Sorry about today. I hope you feel the belief by people around you and across the vapors. You’re a swell feller.
