Zippy did a half marathon? We ought to convince him to chronicle on BYOND.

Gratz you two!
Good job man! I haven't run in about a year, and this is some encouragement to get back on the beaten path, thanks!
This calls for a Rocky training montage.
Two things. Do you clench your teeth when you run? And. What's with the gloves?
Clearly the gloves are to protect his knuckles from the freezing wind while running at mach speeds.

No, I just don't hold my mouth wide open like I'm catching flies. ;)

What's with the gloves?

The race started at 6:50 am. It was debatable in terms of temperature, but they also help absorb sweat from my hands. I hate sweaty hands when I'm running.

Thanks for blowing my whole day yesterday. Awesome idea.

Yeah, I was thoroughly impress with his time. He's been running half-marathon distances on a weekly basis with co-workers for a while now. I'm nowhere near ready to do that kind of distance yet.

Now that the race is over, he's doing CrossFit instead of running. I'll bet he could write some interesting blogs about that if we encouraged him.
Ahh. It's also debatable that catching flies whilst running would serve as a constant source of energy.

You have a good point, not to mention the higher volume of air being sucked in.
