Has anyone seen this?

therunion.com

Came up in my facebook, looks like a Newsthump / The Register type news site about running - really funny. Not yer Runners World "10 Types of Broccoli To Lose Weight" or "How To Run Faster By Watching Telly" type articles!

Anyone else read this? :-) G

How dare they poke fun at the accuracy of race distances? Have they no shame?!

Lol, it's like Viz for runners!

"Runner Trevor Bennett aims to go into the record books as the first man from Lardinia to complete the gruelling Trans-Elbonia race. He is doing this to raise awareness for runners suffering from sockrastinisis, a rare condition where people want to go out for a run but can’t because they just can not decide on what socks to wear.

I'm going to submit an article, I can do sarcasm very well and this is a subject closest to my heart. :)
