It looks like in that starting picture you had to climb up the old PDX carpet. So that included the grossness of thousands' (millions'?) of people's feet.
I'm sorry, that came off bad. My point is that every photo I have seen from one of these races features people having fun. Her photos are no different, despite the fact that she spends a good portion of the article slamming her fellow participants.
You my fair lady, are a cunt. I am not a runner, nor am I in the gym daily (or monthly for that matter) but I have done 3 of these. My first was Tough Mudder Seattle which was a 12 mile course with countless obstacles and more helping hands than I've seen in one place, by the way many proceeds from that were donated to WWP (wounded warrior project) ever heard of it? The second was only a 5k, but many of those proceeds went to Mollys Fund which is a lupus foundation... I ask you, who's the douche now?
@CODY FORTNER: YOU ARE THE DOUCHE NOW. ITS LIKE HOT POTATO; PASS IT ALONG BY MAKING A PERSON WATCH A VIDEO TAPE WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OR ELSE YOUR HANDS WILL TURN INTO LITERAL DOUCHE BAGS.
Tough guy alert. Takes a lot of courage to type out the *c* word. True grit. The finest in human decency. Beyond reproach. Man, I wish I could be a tough guy like that.
HAS DEMOCRACY DIED?
Based on your photos I'm positive you fit right in with that demographic.
Y'ALL FUCK WITH THE BULL, Y'ALL GET THE HORNS.
WHATEVER THAT MEANS.
YOU DID GOOD, SHELBY (but I would have totally picked for something different).
