Mikey Runs a Marathon

This morning I received a phone call from Mikey. "Guess what I just did," asks Mikey. "I haven't a clue," replies Lisette. "I just ran a half marathon," says Mikey.

Today Mike ran a half marathon in NYC. He didn't tell his siblings. He didn't tell his parents. He didn't even tell his girlfriend. Instead, when he lost a bet a couple months ago, he decided he would haphazardly train, and not tell anyone just in case he didn't actually finish.

Well, he finished. And I want to make a big deal and say congratulations, but I still can't get past the fact that he ran a HALF MARATHON and didn't tell a soul. Just his college friends who bet him in the first place.

But. An accomplishment is an accomplishment and running a half marathon is a big deal in my book. So, Congratulations, Mikey! You are one of the strangest people I know.

That you kept this a secret equals your half-marathon accomplishment.
Nice going, Mike!

You could have told us, bozo. We might have come to watch. If you were lucky.

Chad and I ran the nyc half marathon a billion years ago. I'm jealous.
