most people jogged. after the first couple obstacles, i certainly lost some steam. by the end of the course, 90% of people were walking. the running isn't the hard part jubber, but yeah, covering 12 miles at any distance needs to have some kinda foundation. i think you'd be just fine. there were fatties out there.
The weight isn't really my problem. My problem is that my knees will still bend in more than two directions if I'm not careful, which I could fix with proper exercise, and that I no longer have enough endurance to go up a steep hill.

Strongly reminds me of my native Sacramento with less Bay Area pollution and better-funded public maintenance.
What makes me angry, though, in Boston and Sacramento, are the people. People are just so goddamn stupid and petty. And they're happy that way. It makes me very angry.
I think this may be some sort of self-fulfilling prophecy thing. When I went to Boston for...things and stuff...I expected the people there to be a bunch of assholes. I was sorely disappointed. Traffic was absolutely hellish and people gave me space to come over into their lane ahead of them. People here don't do that (the DC-Metro area is full of assholes). Even the fucking Irish beat cops were goddamned polite and helpful. Maybe I was there during a full moon or something, I don't know. I think your problem isn't so much that people are stupid and petty as that you expect them to be and you treat them a certain way due to that expectation, and then they fail to disappoint you because they're responding to the way you're treating them.
And if I ever go to Boston again, I'm going to find you, and there will be dinner and drinks, and we will quietly mock the people at the other tables.
Your Pal,
Jubber
