I was pushing close to 4 bills a few years ago

damn…congrats. that’s a helluva accomplishment.

Late as shit, but fuck that sentimate. I was pushing close to 4 bills a few years ago, started to workout and run, and now run 5k’s, 10k’s, and half’s. I have all my bibs on a wall, all my medals on a wall, and I have the annoying sticker, too. I don’t give a shit, it makes me happy and, honestly, it makes the people who knew me when I was a fat fuck happy, too. I do well in school and I refused all graduations because they are long and boring and refuse to hang my diploma’s because, I guess, I just don’t give a shit about that, it was easy. But it wasn’t easy to run three halfs and all that.

Neither I nor my wife has* a 13.1/26.2 sticker on our cars. Though I have a feeling if my wife gets a BQ time, that might merit bragging.

* I think that’s grammatically correct, believe it or not.

Guess what? I did the same thing, but didn’t feel the need to tell everyone about it.

Yep. Nothing like seeing everyone’s mapmyrun route all over Facebook. Or worse, the people who add comments so you know how the run went and how they felt about it.

These people and the ones who post their workouts on FB or Twitter annoy the shit out of me. Guess what? I did the same thing, but didn’t feel the need to tell everyone about it.

Anyone who thinks PSU accreditation will be affected by this is dreaming. I cannot fathom the legal barrage PSU will unleash if their right to exist as a university is threatened.

Couple of things:

PSU won’t lose its accreditation. But accrediting bodies go after smaller, less powerful schools all the time for even less stuff and hit them with such warnings. They don’t want to seem like they are playing favorites… and they simply shouldn’t play favorites.

The other is that everyone in higher ed hates Penn State. It’s more than the whole ‘we are’ thing. Without Paterno and football, it would simply be another mediocre directional land-grant school… which is essentially what it is academically. Their arrogance about how great they are in everything just really rubs people the wrong way in academia, it’s up there with Notre Dame people and anyone who is from the state of Texas.

So there is also an element of payback and kicking Penn State while its down. The accreditation warning is a bit of well-deserved humiliation for PSU because they are so good at making everyone else feel like they aren’t as good because they didn’t go there.

I will tell you this, though: Penn State better hope none of Sandusky’s victims make it to civil court. Freeh didn’t have subpoena power, but they will. There are certainly a lot of stones un-turned there, more to horrifying stuff to find out. The only way PSU can control it to any degree is to settle with all his victims… which isn’t likely to happen.

Does she compete in the Crossfit Games? Shamefully, I watch them religiously. I might “know” her.

there’s a very thin, fine line between being ultra hot crossfit chick and freaky scary crossfit chick…but god damn, ill rifle thru just about any gallery with volleyball shorts and sports bra clad fit chicks doing a bunch of kipping pullups.

In Biblical terms?

THIS. No way I’d be where I am today if it weren’t for 45 other guys constantly pushing each other.

The girl I went to prom with is now a “crossfit athlete” or whatever the fuck that means and it’s terrifying seeing the pictures on Facebook.

Or both in this one Memphis Monroe movie.

you are a scholar and gentle…well, not a gentleman, persay, but a fine purveyor of smut. +1.

Prediction: you will not hear 10% of the outrage from the Happy Valley folks over this that you heard over the football sanctions.

You’re referring to how the media and internet will cover that story, thus demonstrating less outrage and voice over this, right? Of course that’s what you mean.

Penn State has been notified its accreditation is in jeopardy

Prediction: you will not hear 10% of the outrage from the Happy Valley folks over this that you heard over the football sanctions.

But since I’m doing it, I might as well push myself and get the most out of it.

of course…otherwise it’s just a waste of time.

kind of like people who run half’s or full marathon and go straight home and plaster 13.1/26.2 stickers all over their vehicle.

my criticism comes from the corporate structure, that’s all. ive been doing a modified version of the WOD for tdhe past two years and am in fairly ok shape. just don’t wanna spend $80+/mo on a limited membership…

And like I said, I can’t argue against that. I had been doing the same as you, and to be honest if it wasn’t for my wife, I’d still be doing the same. But since I’m doing it, I might as well push myself and get the most out of it.

Although, to be fair, in the 3 weeks I’ve been doing it, anytime there’s been a power movement exercise, the reps have always been 10 or less.

Most of the criticism comes from people standing on the outside with their Jump to Conclusions mats.
