Earlier this year, I wrote about my attempt at bettering my personal record in the marathon. Without spoiling the drama, I think we all know that I would have blabbed a personal best the moment it happened. This, then, would be the excuse post, where I explain how my training was a little off or how it was too hot. I could conclude by saying how confident I am that I'll get 'em next time.

Well fuck that script. I'm just going to tell the truth: I sucked out there. Sucked hard.

Once, as some sort of retarded joke, I changed my facebook relationship status from 'In A Relationship' to 'It's Complicated'. Susan was not amused. This is a woman who once tolerated me loudly asking our guide when the group would be getting snacks... in the middle of a spelunking trip. Why, then, would she be so insecure about a line of code on a website? I THINK it's because the facebook status has become the bellwether of our remantic lives. As such, it seems as though we have some responsibility to up our game when it comes to keeping our fingers on the electronic pulse of all the relationships out there.
