The day I forget my headphones is the day the guy behind me on the bus decides to loudly relate the plot of “Human Centipede” to his friend.

32hrs after marathon run: I feel like I’ve got the flu (but I don’t). Tired, achey, fuzzy-headed, dehydrated, nauseated, sore… Crap!

ICE BAAAAAAATHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Holy crap. Running 26.2 miles makes you RAVENOUS. I can’t stop eating!
