And that’s why I try not to overdo things on my marathon training

I do watch a lot of people running on the bike trail when I’m out back sucking down bud Platinums

I think if one is going to win the Boston, one should jump into the race near the end. 😜

There have been studies that long distance running takes a toll on the heart - but only in men.

Why too much running is bad for your heart

Subway Rosie!

I was standing near the finish line when they gave her the prize. It was Bill Rodgers fourth and final Boston Marathon victory for the men.

You know the insidious feature of the Covid injection is that it degrades the autoimmune system to allow to happen a long list of medical events that otherwise appear as typical human maladies. When you stop and think about it, AIDS was known to do just that and the Covid injections were engineered to mirror these AIDS accelerated medical events. I am absolutely convinced this was engineered as a depopulation mechanism and furthermore, I believe the U.S. DARPA is behind it.

Wow, you witnessed some history right there!

Poor Rosie! It was such a great idea, too!

Well he wasn’t the typical super skinny beanpole runner. Looks like thin, but decent muscleing.

During those years, the Red Sox always had a 10am game at Fenway so that after the game, the fans could gather at the finish line (just outside the park) to see the winners come through.

During the game, the Fenway scoreboard would flash updates on the leaders as they approached from Hopkington.

It was always a banner day for me as a kid.

Then I'd go hang out at the Strawberries record store in Kenmore Square and catch the subway home at the end of the day.

It’s already out there that the whole mission of developing (through outside companies), procuring, distributing, and injecting the vexxationation into hundreds of millions of U.S. arms was run out of the U.S. Department of Defense.

It trains out the chaos/complexity of the natural stochastic beat.

I remember when I could run, right up age 14, and it became very unnatural for me. I have often wondered if I had a growth spurt and nothing pulled naturally in my muscles when I tried to run. It made my feet, back, and shoulders sore.

So I did a lot less running.

Instead, I got stronger. Not working out strength, but young man strength.

I sometimes wonder. I see people running, and they seem to really like it.

Granted, I also see the people who don’t seem to be enjoying it at all, which will prompt either my wife or I to say “Egad-did you see that guy’s face?” which gets the equal response of “Yeah. He wasn’t enjoying himself.”

That said, I sure envy people who can run long distances. It sometimes looks like a real hoot to some people.

Haha! Just like Rosie!!!! Her interview with Kathrine Switzer is on Youtube and also in the Boston Marathon documentary movie. That is hilarious to watch. “No, I don’t belong to a running club. I trained on my own....” The look on Switzer’s face was priceless. She wasn’t buying it.

They still have a morning game at Fenway on marathon day, but it is at 11 am.
