I ran 1600 miles this year - a little more than 30 miles per week.  Total time spent: 243h 47m Sounds like a lot... except there are 8760 hours in an entire year. That means I spent a grand total of 2.785% of my time running this year.  Call it 3 for travel to location, dress prep, etc. A whopping 3 fucking percent.  3 minutes out of 100.  In exchange for 3% of my time, I can eat whatever the fuck I want all the time and my BMI stays right around 22.  Oh, and also I have thin privilege.  That means people like me, I get respect at work, I am attractive to women.  People are shocked when they find out how old I am; they think I'm 8-10 years younger than I actually am. For 3% of my time.  That's a fucking bargain. Goddamned fat people.
