Mission Statement Time

We’re just tired of reading running blogs with cheery topics ranging from ‘what I had for breakfast’ to ‘boy, I had a good workout today!’ We can’t remember breakfast, and we can’t imagine you or anyone else would care how far we ran at our lactate threshold today. Really. Don’t you have a life? Shouldn’t you be running instead?

However, due to the fact that running is so popular these days, and getting almost too popular, it’s time to publicly share the grumpiness. We used to think that runners were exemplary people, on a higher moral plane. We still like to think they are, but Darwinian reality is chipping away at our lofty expectations.

So this running blog will highlight some of the worst habits, situations and experiences we’ve encountered. Miserable experiences welcome.

Question: Does misery love company? Answer: Ever been to the finish line of a marathon?
