You will ROCK that half!! I co...I'm so proud!! You will ROCK that half!! I consider anyone who is faster than me to be crazy fast, so I am always impressed by runners! Maybe I am underestimating what the amateur elite runners get, but I do think they are incredibly impressive. <br /><br />I can't wait to hear all about the Beat the Blerch race!!!!!Katelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758210180939830431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912923948966123033.post-20492638843261311482015-04-22T02:50:06.524-04:002015-04-22T02:50:06.524-04:00NOWI get your comment from facebook!!!!!!
Also, I...NOWI get your comment from facebook!!!!!!<br /><br />Also, I think you articulated your thoughts pretty well here. I follow Hungry Runner Girl, and I thought her time was crazy fast- but her time was still way over 3 hours. You just sort of put it into perspective for me what exactly that class of athlete is. It's really interesting. I hadn't thought about it before. Those people do get sponorships and stuff though. I follow so many of them on Instagram and their blogs (Sweatonceaday is another one- she's a long distance runner here in Eugene with me, and she runs for Oiselle?)I think Janae was sponsored by Stonyfield for Boston. They don't win, but there is stuff out there for him, and lots of blog success for sure!<br /><br />I registered for my first Half, I don't know if you saw (I did tag you on IG, I legitimately thought you might be interested). It's sponsored by the guy who writes The Oatmeal and it's called BeattheBlerch.com I'm running the Half in Sacramento in November andI'd more than welcome you for a destination run!I've been trying to recruit people to come visit! The race will also be in Seattle and New Jersey (Seattle just sold out for Saturday). The race consists of guys in giant marshmallow suits chasing you telling you to quit and take a nap (this is why I'm into this), and couches are strategically placed along the course route for quitters. Aid stations are stocked with Nutella, birthday cake shooters, cupcakes and "magic purple drink." The Oatmeal guy is running the marathon at every event and doing a book signing too. Think about it! I thought it would be a perfect race for a binger eater/quitter like me. LOLEmily is Singlehttp://emilyissingle.comnoreply@blogger.com
