Quick question: what is the biking equivalent of a marathon in terms of suffering. Is it 150 miles? 200 miles? More? Just wondering... Way to go, Fatty!

I would love to punch the next person in the nose that claims "pain is weakness leaving the body" Oh, your nose hurts? Don't worry.... Though I would never do it…

Said much more descriptively than I was going to do so... Congratulations on finishing. I've thought of late, "why is Elden keeping at this running thing?" And lo, the question is answered completely. Half marathons seem reasonable for a cyclist who is not really a runner first. Hope your recovery continues well!

Just one of those candid moments, I'll bet he'd buy one of those shirts with Fatty's new "pain" slogan.

And how about making the shirt reversible, depending on how one is feeling: Pain is weakness leaving... for the good days. On the other side, Pain is nerve endings... for the crap days.

Everyone gets blisters. And they aren't your average run-o-the-mill take a day off type blister... they are the mother beast of all blisters.

After running my way into a calf injury, I'm of the opinion that the occasional sprint triathlon or 5k is more than enough running for me. Congrats on getting that one off your bucket list, Fatty.
