13.1 Stickers on cars

Pretty impressive. I've only finished 6 half marathons.

Did the sticker hurt you?

I still want to make 0.8 and 1.5 stickers.

If you think slogging a half-marathon with a fanny pack is difficult, you've obviously never experienced the torture of running an all-out 800 meter footrace on pure hate.

I'm pretty sure I can picture the woman (I'm sure it's a woman) that drives this van, without ever having seen her.

I run 13 every morning and every night. Does that count too

only if it's 13.1

That person isnt as funny as they think they are.

Saw one a few days ago that read: "0.0".

"27.4" and in small print "Took a wrong turn."

Why do people really care if someone does this stuff? I mean it's good that at least these people care enough about fitness to do it. Many here complain that not enough people excersise. Sure, this person probably isn't a 2:20 marathoner (or anywhere close), but who cares?

They are getting some enjoyment out of a healthy activity and having fun participating in the sport. I wish the rest of the population would take note.

I don't go play one sloppy game of HORSE on the basketball court and then proclaim to the world that I am an athletic basketball player.

Hopefully it's a chick because I'd feel more worse that a dude is driving a minivan than the goofy ass stickers.

The dud is half-assing life. Only 2 full marathon stickers? Seriously, what a coward.

Needs one of this:

A case where non-runners and runners are in agreement about hobby joggers.

I agree, let them go. What I don't like is people who think that just because they can complete 13.1 miles they're somehow better than people who race shorter distances.

On the morning of a half marathon a girl posted (on FB) that she "eats 5k's for breakfast" bring on the 1/2 marathon.

OK, I know her, she's sloooooow, real slow.

A couple people posted something about the pace not the distance being the challenge.

If this chick has run a full marathon, why all the 13.1 stickers? Just put ONE 26.2 sticker on and call it a day.

But many posters here hate when hobby joggers celebrate their own or other hobby joggers' slow PBs.

So what is the "acceptable" attitude for hobby joggers? You get lambasted if you only care about finishing. You get ridiculed if you celebrate your slow PB.

Do hobby joggers have to constantly loathe themselves for being slow, and belittle other hobby joggers for being slow?

If a middle aged lady in your office gets congratulated for her first sub-2 half, do you tell other co-workers "NOOOO. She sucks big time. Deena Kastor is 50 minutes faster than her!"?

It's HIGH TIME you fatties got kicked in the slacks!!!

Shit or get off the pot you f*cking crippled up swamp sloths.
