Comedian Michelle Wolf has had quite the year. Her HBO special, Nice Lady, proved she’s one of today's best standups. Then, whether you loved it or hated it, she made her mark as the featured guest at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
On top of that, Wolf, 33, just wrapped up the first 10 episodes of her new Netflix show The Break, which is a half hour of sketches, late-night show desk segments, and her cutting standup on news and politics.
But when she needs her own break from writing a weekly comedy show or preparing for a set on the road, Wolf searches out trails and running routes to clear her head or work through a bit that just isn’t coming to her. In fact, the Hershey, Pennsylvania, native completed her first ultramarathon—a 50-miler—in May. This is after taking time off from running after college and picking it back up only a few years ago.
“It’s very important for me to fit running in when I’m very busy,” Wolf told Runner’s World by phone. “When I don’t do it for a couple days I feel off, and I don’t think I perform as well.”
Wolf spoke about her transition from middle-distance track and jumping in college to becoming a devoted distance runner, the key thing she loves having in her office, and why ultrarunning makes her feel like a badass.
Runner’s World: Why do you run?
Michelle Wolf: Sometimes I do it to relax my mind. Other times I do it just to pump myself up, and other times I’ll be writing and I’ll have a roadblock. I’ll just go for a run, and I’ll think about it while I’m on the run. A lot of times I end up figuring it out. . .

She needs to eliminate whatever activity is making her more of a stupidass
As I get into longer distances with running, I will make sure to continue with bodyweight workouts and the like, so I don’t get sickeningly low-weight like I was in high school. I figure, the more abundant the muscle, the better I will actually be in running, anyhow. Any sane running coach would emphasize getting stronger in addition to gaining speed and endurance, IMO.
Because I know a couple and have seen many of them. Arms like pipe cleaners.
Sh!t for brains.
T-levels in men have been getting lower and lower over the years for some reason. I suspect that the average young male of today isn’t the dad bod kind that Teacher317 was talking about. I certainly wasn’t when I was young, but back in the 1980s and 1990s, I was the exception. It seems the exception, given the diminishing T-levels, is likely to become the rule, if it has not already.
Is it animal, vegetable, or mineral?
My experience, though, has been that long distance running makes me feel calmer and more contemplative.
The real bad asses are the ones who do Cross Fit. Those people are tough!
I’ve seen a couple of articles in Runners’ world in which a runner has actually become happier and more fulfilled when she gained weight. Sure, these were women, but I suspect some of these thin male runners would be happier if they put on some more (lean) muscle. If the average (dad bod) male got into running and kept his muscle, he would probably give the skinny runners a run (heh) for their money, since he would have more muscle fibers in the game.
So I don’t plan to go to a “running weight”, if it means getting into fly-weight territory.
Believe me, I know one of those guys from my time in Hap Ki Do classes. He was as aggressive as hell in sparring.
That would be known as "comedy." She doesn't seem to be very good at it. From what I know, which admittedly is limited, she seems to be into Trump-hatred and abortion-mongering.
Crazy and sarcastic. Not a good combination for a long-term relationship. I think one reason Ann Coulter is still single is that not many men really want to be around that level of sarcasm for very long.
Stupid is as Stupid does. (Forrest Gump reference)
Then stand up comedy needs to sit down.
We have a vastly different definition of cute.

You have low standards. She has a mannish, 'Tom Sawyer' look.
Cute? I think she looks like the spawn of Carrot Top and Mr Ed, personally.
But as my grandmother would say “’Each to his own’, said the old lady as she kissed the cow,” :-)
Ms. Wolf does beling to a radical leftist cabal, she was their invited speaker
