Kipping

I have started a new sport. It's called kipping, and it's a sport in which you run races Kip Litton has run. For each race, you get a point; for each race Kip registered for but didn't run you get half a point.

My total is 1.5: Kip and I both ran the Thunder Road Marathon, and Kip registered for Boston 2012 (audacity!) and didn't start.

Don't know who Kip Litton is? Read this article. But get a cup of coffee first: it's long and interesting and you'll want to curl up and enjoy it.

    I read the article a few weeks ago. The only race I'd have a chance of scoring in is a 5k he listed, that's held in the Orlando area. Too bad it's a make-believe race...

    Darn! I thought I was walking into a pull-ups contest.

      Still reading the article, but had heard about this guy. Thanks for sharing the full read here :). He must have gotten a serious charge out of seeing if he could get away with all this.

    well this is just interesting. awful lot of trouble he appears to have gone through - i feel like it'd be a lot easier to just train and actually race!
