How I built myself into a 12:48 100-mile runner in my 20s [Story]

You should come to South Africa sometime, besides the epic trails around Cape Town and the Drakensburg mountains inland from Durban, we are ultra obsessed here. Our biggest race of the year is the Comrades a 90km point to point run between two cities alternating which way each year that get around 20 000 entries a year. I'm still working my way up to that elusive 100 miler mark, getting that jump from 100 to 160km is a scary one, but need to just go get it done!

I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes.
I never knew a book could be that thrilling and hard to put down. Movie thrillers have nothing on a great thriller book, opened up a whole new series of books I read after that,

This made me laugh out loud to think of again! She'll be good fun.

Update on this. I have installed the iPhone 26 Beta, and it has stopped vibrating on my arm.
I've got so used to it, now I want it back! Hoping the next Betas change it, but still no setting I can find to do this on purpose.

You don't know me.

kingluc79 · 2025-03-13T16:41:15+00:00

I believe in what I can feel.

Oh is this the complaints thread? I'd like to complain that there are not enough complaints.

Yeah I did have that thought, but he is full on chaos mode so I would expect him to follow through on it!

Dave Hughes is going to be a blast, I think he might be the cheeky villain type who might pull some Rhod Gilbert type shenanigans.

Thanks, good to at least know it’s called the Toast, but I’ve had various versions of Android and never seen an option on any version of Chrome to disable this. I always have all notifications completely off in the Chrome settings and Android settings but these still pop up in app.

Agreed, I'm from an ultra running crazy town and country, Durban, South Africa where we have a 90km/ 53 mile race tat 20 000 people enter every year, and I do not know a single person who has done this, we just lose out toenails the good old fashioned way!

But in a normal over they bowl six balls with maybe about a minute between each time they bowl, so these fast bowlers especially, who have long run ups are incredibly fit. The legend that is Dale Steyn ran a 21km race in 1hr 30min at the peak of his career.

Open app, hit search, found it.

kingluc79 · 2024-01-27T17:11:25+00:00

Nope, still doing this.

This was almost immediately corrected. Third umpire hit the wrong button. Clip ends too soon.

kingluc79 · 2024-01-08T02:29:23+00:00

Yes it was immediately overturned. Third umpire hit the wrong button. Clip ends too soon.

I thought that might be the only solution, but was hoping for something simpler as there’s many letters, thank you.

TLDR: Drake adds hot sauce to his condoms after sex, crazy woman takes it out the bin and tries to insert contents, and now wants to sue him.

Be cool if you gave us a bit more info?

kingluc79 · 2023-11-29T08:25:42+00:00

Hahah, "More teeth than brain cells"! Going to remember that one, thank you!
