If you run slowly enough, you can run arbitrarily far.

This is, word-for-word, the mantra I kept in my head when I ran my one and only marathon, Boston, on no training whatsoever. (I used to swim competitively, so I had good lungs at the time, but no running training at all apart from whatever natural ability I had.)

Don’t go out too fast, and you’ll make it. Run strong!

I will always vote for the bashing-into-TV-while-flying-off-rollers post. I laugh any time I merely THINK about that post. It must be included. :)

Have fun w/ the book(s). You can do it.

I’ll buy the books

Go for three posts a week + a couple of guest posts.
Write the book, you’ll regret it if you don’t. I would buy it, if only to support you. I like reading whatever you write…

“Public knowledge” – I have no idea where to look so if you want us all to know you’ll just have to write about that too!

I’m so annoyed that I only found you a few months ago. I feel like I’m a brand-new step kid in this awesome family. An alien step-kid, maybe even. What I lack in tenure, I make up for in enthusiasm, rest assured! You have such a wonderful talent for writing, but I think perhaps an even greater one for life. An unbeatable combination, for sure. I wish you the very best and will most definitely be along for the ride! I, too, am a professional editor willing to lend a hand should you need it!

Please haters stop bothering to even post your hate on this blog. Elden does not deserve your piss poor attitude. Go Fatty.

Hang on, Elden, I am trying to write code for random unsolicited advice.

Then when you need some, you just push the button!

Excited?

But you are getting a lot of free schwag to take home. Mcdonald’s doesn’t give you that. Do you report these gifts to the IRS?

Do what you like and like what you do. Go for it Fatty. I can’t wait to read all about it.

Awesome idea for a “Best of Fatty” book. Can I make a request? One post that I was deeply touched by and send to others to read was your Second Guesses and Self Doubt post in July last year. As a cyclist I love all your funny, cycling-related posts, but that one really got me.
