Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


About six years ago I started getting really into long distance running with the aid of the running thread in YLLS. Since then I've run six marathons and would like to take a crack an an ultra someday as well, if people can ever go outside again. Running has probably had the single greatest impact upon my quality of my life as an adult in terms of health, looks, and just generally preserving my own mental well-being. The malaise and poor fitness I see emergent within a lot of my friends who are now reaching their mid-30s hasn't affected me, and I hope it never will. I run nearly every day, for around 2,500-3,000 miles a year, and I'll probably keep going until my legs fall off. I'm just in impossibly good shape from what I ever imagined for myself, and I definitely wouldn't have taken it this far if it wasn't for the running thread's experience and insight. It's weird how hobbies become habits become obsessions that you build your entire life around, but running has been that for me.
