Sounds good cr, how much do you weigh? 

Maybe you can do one of these with me.

Good grief!  That sounds good except for the fact that I have no perseverance, endurance, or grit! :)

The longest I've run without stopping was about 7.5 miles as part of a marathon relay team.  I weigh about 190.

I haven't done one that long yet. I have done the  5 miles. You get a break from running at each obstacle so it's not running 10  straight miles.

What kind of obstacles are we talking about?  Drinking water?  Sliding down the Slip N Slide?  Cause I could get down with stuff like that.

Funny thing is I can't run just for the sake of running, but I can still play a full 40 minute game of basketball without slowing down.

I'm kinda the opposite now.  I used to could play basketball all day long, and I hated running.  But now, one trip up and down the floor kills me.  But I can run 3 miles no problem.  I'd love to play ball again, but I don't see how I can find the time.

Get off of here , and you'd have atleast time for a full basketball game! :)

No, but I feel there's a word in there that is how I feel about this winter! :(

No new problem.  Same old problem. Melted fuel continuing to melt into the earth, with radiation at levels so high that the technology doesn't even exist to find the cores, let alone contain the reaction.  The robots they're sending in to take pix and see what's going on can't even last 2 hours.  It's pretty terrible.  But don't worry, it's all good!  Nothing to see here. :(
