I run marathons, and I used to be a big deal in the office. But, a few years ago, a trail runner got a job here and, ever since, he's been running one 100-miler per year and he gets all the attention I used to get!

Run a 100-miler and beat him if you care that much about it?
I fuggin love 'am I welcome threads'.
Thank you. almost snorted up my coffee.
Race him for pink slips.
You are not welcome here but your 100 mile coworker is. Get some; accomplishments under your belt and come on back.

Why did you put a semicolon in the middle of a sentence? Are you some kind of stupid idiot?

Why you are bothered by this is beyond me but since you are bothered I am in total agreement. Go out and beat him in a hundred miler. Get back your 15 minutes of fame between meetings.
Years ago I was the fastest runner in a fairly large company. Other runners at work kept telling me about this other guy in the company who could beat me. I didn't know him but I found out that several years before he had run a 2:27 marathon.
The company sponsored a three mile race. He showed, I showed. When the gun went off I went out at a five minute pace. I figured if he could beat that then he was faster.
I ended up beating him by a over a minute. That shut everyone up.

Hilarious story. The funniest part is that all you accomplished by winning that race was solidifying yourself as the 'company *sshole.' You know, not unlike that guy who gets all riled up and overly competitive at the company picnic softball game.

What's wrong with what he did? What would you have done, jog and let the other guy win?
If you spend a little time here, you will soon learn that ultra runners are rather strongly disrespected here. They tend to stick to their own threads because they know what the rest of us feel about "running", oh, 16 minute pace.
Excellent! Perceptive about your target audience and creative! 10/10

The hobby joggers will take a 5 hour mary over a 16 minutes 5k.

Lol! My easy days are my speedwork!"
I was in HR so by nature you're already a company a** hole. Lol
Later I became friends with the guy I torched. Nice guy.
You will fit in perfectly here if you ran at least one of those marathons on a track.

You sir need to get back to that hotbed of mediocrity you call "the office" and challenge that man to a race. You should take the old race finishing certificates off your cubicle walls. Fran in Accounts, who you ended up going home with at last year's Christmas party, calls you her "little marathon man who's a sprinter in the sack".
You are indeed welcome here.

Do you really believe semicolons belong at the end of sentences;
Now that's stupid;
