    I read that page and decided I want to read more of it!!! Lucky for me, this was already page 6 of the comic. Here is page 1, the beginning part: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/running

    Also, thanks for linking that, callmeclemens! I really like it. I may update the thread with my own thoughts after I complete the series.

      RIP

      I have never been across the way
      Seen the desert and the birds
      You cut your hair short
      Like a shush to an insult
      The world had been yelling
      Since the day you were born
      Revolting with anger
      While it smiled like it was cute
      That everything was shit.

                Oh brilliant! I shared the page about the tanning beds on my Facebook wall today, didn't know it was part of a full comic! I must say I too have a little Blerch who follows me around, cutely coercing me into devouring heavily buttered bread and lying on my couch watching series while I drool unawares.

                  Haha I don't run, but I cycle. A lot of that applies to biking. Especially when my speedy boyfriend with unending endurance is literally a kilometre ahead of me and I'm struggling to keep up. I definitely feel the Blerch (You want to take a break! Whine at Hannes until he stops. He has candy!) I might not have grown up fat, but I grew up asthmatic and unable to do difficult cardio activities. Part of me sometimes still feels like I can't, even while I"m actually doing it.

                    If you changed all of the running to swimming, that would be me.

                    Complete with cybog sharks, killer seals, and the elusive mermaids. And the other kind of SEALs...we almost crashed.
