BriB - 2010-07-22 1:27 PM My uncle: You know that beer you are drinking doesn't help you with all that "mass" that is hurting you on the run.
Me: Yeah I know but "we" consider it a recovery drink. (half serious)
My uncle: You know all the Kenyans are eating celery and carrots right now.


THAT is funny!

I work with Truck Driver's - so you can imagine the stuff I hear. 

Driver:  Dude, that bike is light, how much did it cost?

Me:  about "amount"

Driver:  Where's the engine?

Me:  I'm the engine.

Driver:  You got ripped off.

 

Me:  I am going to run over lunch, "assistant" is in charge.

Driver 1:  Where are you going, can you bring lunch back for me?

Driver2:  He is not running an errand, he is just running?

Driver 1:  Outside?

Me: Yeah - I would get dizzy running laps in here.

Driver 1:  I think your dizzy already.  It's freaking hot out there.

Thanksgiving last year at my house.

Daughter    Dad    When are you and Uncle Ken going to do a real triathlon?

Granted my brother and I had only completed a couple of sprint distance races.  We laughed


 My daughter is going to do a Sprint relay (runner) with me in August. I hope she catches the fever to do a sprint race with me next year.

After I beat a friend of mine in a sprint..
Him-I had a faster bike split than you.
Me-I didn't realize we were doing a TT today.

Mom - I don't understand why you ride on the street when there's a path.
Me - I don't want to crash.
Mom - Everyone else rides on the path.
Me - Exactly.

Me: I'm doing a triathlon in 2 weeks
Dad: Triathlon? how far is that?
Me: (explain the sprint distance)
Dad: Do they give you prizes?
Me: Well, the race packets sometimes come with a t-shirt, and the top finishers will probably get something..although I doubt I will be a top finisher
Dad: So, you are just doing it to do it?
Me: Yep
Dad: (stumped silence)

  That's funny. And repeated in houses around North America with some frequency, I'm afraid.

My 6yo daughter stuck her head into the garage while I was on the treadmill.  "Hi dad.  Are you doing an Ironman?"

Same daughter a few weeks ago after my first ever Oly, "What was this race daddy?"  me: "olympic length, about twice as far as last months".  her: "oh.  When are you going to do an Ironman?" 

sheesh, no respect...

Last weekend in Racine... I was finishing up my test ride on the bike and standing by my car.  Lady in SUV pulls up.

SUV lady: What time does the race start tomorrow?
Me: First wave goes off at 7am.
SUV lady: Holy sh**! That's early!

This thread is hillarious!
I was a preschool teacher for years and used to go for short runs on my lunch break. One day I got back just before the afternoon class arrived and one little boy caught me changing my shoes.
"Why you changin shoes?"
Me: " I just finished running"
Boy: "Who you be runnin from? Why they be chasin you?"
Me: rolling on the floor laughing

My neighbor and I were discussing exercise and races.
Neighbor: I need to start running. I think I could run one of those 3 mile marathons.
I didn't bother explaining......

Trying to teach myself how to use my new clipless pedals with my 3 year old son watching. I fell over about 3 times in my own driveway when finally he says "Mom, it's not that hard. You just get on the bike and pedal like this!"
HAHAHAHA, now come here and let me take off your training wheels.......

It's not that funny, but I was running through the park on a really miserable humid afternoon and as I passed a family walking, their little girl shouts, "Mommy, WHY is she running?"  

I just was thinking the same thing...
