Marathon (Txt Convo)

Friend: I'm looking for a job, can you help me out?

Me: I'm looking for part-time work as well.

Friend: What you applying to so far?

Me: A runner's store position.

Friend: What qualifies you as a runner?

Friend: Seriously, you can't run a marathon at your current weight.

Me: I ran a marathon 10 pounds heavier.

Friend: When????

Me: Check my Facebook.

Friend: YOU RAN THE NYC MARATHON LAST YEAR?!?!?!?!

Me: All the emails I send you about fund raising and you didn't even donate a penny.

Friend: You RAN the marathon last year??? You... seriously?

Me: Yes.

Friend: You lied. Those are just pretty pictures.

Me: Check your email for a link.

Friend: WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! YOU DID RAN IT LAST YEAR!!!!

Me: (slightly annoyed) YES.

Friend: So, you think they gonna hire you based on that fact?

Me: Not really... but chances are, when they hear I'll run it again this year, maybe.

Friend: You like to punish your body?

Me: I like to lose weight, thank you very much!

The five stages of running

An hour before running: I don't wanna run today.

5 minutes before running: I'm pumped! Let's do this!

While running: Can't breathe... Must keep going... Run to the rythm of my music... Don't die...

5 minutes after running: Everything's awesome! I love running! I could run for the rest of my life!

An hour after running: I. Am going. To die.
