I will run the 5K, but I won't do it in a sumo diaper.
Steve sent me the following email recently–subject line: running:
“if this fat fuck can run a marathon, a 5K should be a skip through the
park for you.

The fat fuck in question is a 400 lb. former sumo wrestler who completed the Los Angeles marathon a couple of weeks ago, putting him in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the heaviest man to finish a marathon.
Wow.
So I guess that means I have to do this 5K. Sign me up, Steve!
thanks for the post Brian(aka the skinniest fat person I have ever known)….just motivated me to finally cross running-a-marathon off my bucket list…from the glimpse I had of your competitive nature (wiffle ball), I feel that upon completion of said 5K, you will not be satisfied and proceed to sign up for longer runs….i believe in you Brian…good luck…

Ramiro!
I hope you’re right, man, but if you keep reading, you’ll see I am not a runner. I’m still adjusting to the bloody nipple thing, and I haven’t even hit the pavement. I am lifting though, which would make your fat–and ugly!–brother proud, so if the running thing doesn’t pan out, I’ll still be able to take you to the gun show.
Thanks for reading and for the support.
