For one thing, what's the deal with blisters? Am I right? It's like, normal people are all, "Blisters? No thank you!" But we're all, "Yes please! We like blisters! We're runners! Buhhh!"

And have you ever noticed how we're always talking about running, on Facebook and stuff? What's the deal with that? Helloooo? Shoes & Gear!

Right?

We're all, "Oh, look at me. Running. Think I'll run in a running race." Well, guess what, folks? 

Shoes & Gear. 

And these bumper stickers! "26.2." Oooh. You ran a marathon! Hey, what's that on the back of that normal person's car? Oh, yeah – a bumper sticker that says "No One Cares"! 

That's right. You know what I'm talking about.

While we're at it, what's the deal with all this talk about improving proprioception? In an effort to reduce the risk of injury? I mean, ha. Proprioception? More like NOPE-rioception!

Ummm.  

The shoes! Have you seen these shoes that we wear all over the place? You'll see us, like, out running and we've got these fancy shoes strapped all over our feet. Hello? Since when do you need special shoes just to run? Last time I checked, you can run in any old shoes! Just go out and hit the bricks! And the shorts. Oh my God. Who likes short shorts? Well, I'll tell you doesn't like 'em... any normal person with eyeballs! Ugh!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to run... away from all you runners!

Thank you, you've been great!
