MARATHON PICS ( man am I FAT!!)

[underpants]

I need to get out and get some damned excercise or something.

WOW

Seriously aside from posting a picture of myself on the web this is freaking frightening.

I had no idea I looked like this.

Note- I am NOT finishing for condolences or anything like that. Geesh I must have REALLY been a sight before all this started.


Okay--I warned you!!!

Link here I can't post them directly.

Now mind you that I DID run a 4:44 marathon (chip time). That IS a 1:49 per mile average. I DID pass about 1,100 people. http://journals.democraticunderground.com/underpants/106
Maybe they just got out of the way of THIS coming down the street at them.


The pic with the two ladies in black in front of my fat ass-they walk/ran for miles and miles and I never could get away from them until the very end.

Okay here goes nothing :scared:

1. five down, on the left hand side, is a keeper!

you look like a guy who just ran 26 friggin' miles. don't sweat it (hehehe). congrats on the marathon!

[underpants]

3. Mugging for the camera

I thought they were newspaper photogs not event staff.

Damn they have a lot of these of me.

[MrCoffee]

7. mugging? you bastard, that's what i'd look like after 500 yards

personally, i think anyone in good enough shape to run a MARATHON (fer cryin' out loud) has no business referring to themselves as fat.

5. Right click, save. Set as wallpaper.

:rofl:

Great work, UP!!

[MissMillie]

2. GREAT WORK!

I'm in awe of anyone who does this.

And no, I would not call you "fat".

[BOSSHOG]

4. Congratulations Friend

4:44 is an awesome time. And you are your own worse critic so your opinion doesn't count. The pics are great. Dontcha just love endorphin highs.

Way back when me and the Mrs hit a 5K or 10K or half marathon about every other week, I recall only one picture being taken per runner. The more pictures the better.

[underpants]

16. Yeah

well I thought hell I FELT a lot thinner than that.

WOW

The endorphins were something else. The worst part really was the last 10 blocks on Cary Street. I just wanted it to be over and it just never seemed to end.

[flvegan]

6. Dude, you're not fat.

Congrats on the marathon. Hell of an accomplishment. I'm truly envious.

Love the crazy pic few rows down on the left. :thumbsup:

[DS1]

8. able to run a marathon and fat simply don't go together

[AllegroRondo]

9. Awesome.

you finished 45 minutes faster than I did for my first marathon.

Sign up for the next one yet?

[underpants]

14. March 16th-not signed up yet though

http://www.shamrockmarathon.com/site3.aspx

I was planning on going for a run tomorrow but it looks like it will be raining hard.

[AllegroRondo]

22. and its sponsored by a beer company!

do they give out free beer?

the St Louis Marathon has an Anheiser Busch tent at the end for runners. But theres always the Hashers around mile 24 handing out beers to the runners too.

[underpants]

25. 22

I got an email from the local Hashers-it said that for some reason they are always at mile 22. So if you are ever near a marathon and are wondering where there might be a party, go to mile 22.

Looks fun. I think I am going to join up with them and see what it is like.

[AllegroRondo]

27. I did some hashing when I was in the Army

fun people, for the most part. And some incredibly creative drinking songs. But if you like beer and running, they're a great group.

my hash name was "Reverend Chunky Monkey"

[BOSSHOG]

30. The Bubba Gump 5K in New Orleans

has mass quantities of free beer after the race plus outstanding food given away by Bubba Gump Restaurant (shrimp and pasta dishes.) The race starts and ends in front of Bubba Gumps on Decatur in New Orleans on a Sunday Morning. Its usually the last Sunday in April. We met a couple from New York who ran the race last year. They couldn't believe the gratuitous beer and beer drinking in the streets of the Big Easy. At ten in the morning. Let those good times roll.

[AllegroRondo]

33. Last Sunday in April?

I may have to sign up for that.

[BOSSHOG]

36. 27 April 2008

Here is the NOTC (New Orleans Track Club) Schedule for most of next year:

Its always a lot of fun and just a few blocks from Bourbon Street. And the hot weather hasn't quite set in yet.

10. Athletes are their own harshest critics, aren't they?

I gain 3 lbs and I'm all up in arms :eyes: So take it easy on yourself friend. You cannot possibly be so far out of shape if you ran a marathon.

[Flaxbee]

11. great photos, and congrats on finishing the marathon!

I never was able to huff out more than 3 miles, after years of running. I am truly astounded by anyone who can run a marathon - I hope you're proud of yourself!

[ThomCat]

12. Good for you, getting out there and doing this.

Regardless of how harshly you judge yourself, you're out there excersizing and you ran a friggin marathon. :applause:

[meegbear]

13. You're just big boned

:thumbsup:

[underpants]

15. Yesthh yesth just big boned

[BrklynLiberal]

18. Wow! You ran a Marathon!! That is amazing!! Congratulations.. Great pics.

[Bunny]

19. In the first place, congrats on the marathon!

:woohoo:

Secondly, you are NOT fat. Not at all.

Third, you look absolutely nothing like what I have imagined for oh these many years. Not even a tiny bit. It's funny how that works, isn't it?

:thumbsup:

[underpants]

24. Yeah it is

Yep I am the normal normal white guy

Even my white guy friends joke about how WHITE GUY I am.

[AspenRose]

20. How did you train for the marathon Underpants....

Inquiring minds want to know

[underpants]

23. You simply have to put in the miles

I did the Novice 1 scehdule

http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/Mar00novice.htm

This is the basic model that every training/trainer uses with small changes made by individual coaches (adding their signature if you will)

Now that is easier said than done (lots of early early mornings and you HAVE to do the long weekend runs-no skipping those at all) but there were all kinds of people out there on Saturday making the trip. I wasn't the biggest by far.

[LaraMN]

21. Oh for goodness sake, underpants!

You could run circles around my scrawny ass!

Way to go!

:bounce:

[wicket]

26. Um, I'm fat, you are not

Congrats on the marathon!!!

[xchrom]

[BlueJazz]

31. I've run a lot in the past few years and I'll tell ya, there's NOBODY...

You look Good, Man.. :)

[Shell Beau]

32. I'm ordering them all!!!

You did better than I could probably do!!!

[Phentex]

34. You should be very proud!

I think you look great!

(BTW, NOT a fat ass at all!)

:toast:

[Rabrrrrrr]

[LynzM]

37. Damn, dude, I'm impressed!!

I cannot imagine running that far, that's fantastic! :bounce:

[redqueen]

38. Jesus Christ dude... 26 miles?!

:scared:

And you shut up! You're not fat... chubby maybe, but so what? You're obviously healthy and that's all that matters. Okay, well... all that should matter, anyway. Besides, I like chubby... and what matters besides what I like? ;)

:toast:

Awesome job, and nice one mugging for the camera that time... what a great pic! :D

:applause:

[underpants]
