You should get a bike and watch your legs get cut up like a greek statue.

I remember that commentary like it was yesterday. Majerus clearly started me on the road to gastrocnemiuos obsession. Thanks for the reminder.

Let’s hope Marty can grow into his calves, or at least use them to play defense once in a while.

Be very careful about letting Rick Majerus see your calves. His sililoqy about Marty P’s calves during an early-season ESPN game was CREEPY!

That’s not even fair. I hear that, along with the Great Wall of China, your calves are among the few terrestrial objects that can be seen from space.

Andrew, my life is but to serve.

Tonight when I’m sitting on my couch in my boxers eating pizza and watching Battlestar Galactica, admiring my one-pack stomach and my nice soft pecs, I will have gone another week not running. I couldn’t have not done it without the support of my family and friends who have not convinced me to run. A special thanks to Dean Schuster, who through his musings on this blog, has not quite inspired me to get up and do something active. I leave you all this evening with the following words of wisdom. “If at first you don’t succeed, try something else.”

I like staring at his backside.

I appreciate genuine concern for my thighs.

I admire your ability to turn running into a narcissistic exercise, but I must point out that you are obsessing with the wrong part of your anatomy. The calf is the leg-equivalent of the forearm: Who has even heard of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle? It’s the building up of the bicep in the upper body that impresses. Likewise, for the runner, it’s all about the size of the thighs.

So when your quadriceps bulge to the point that you can’t find pants to accommodate both your thin man waist and your bulging runner’s thighs, ogle away. Until then, run more hills and stop staring at your backside.

I just received my I.D. card from the Fraternal Lackadaisical Activities Bureau. I’m officially a member of F.L.A.B.

Man, Andrew, we sure have a lot in common! I ALSO have been fervently not running for most of my life! Who knew?
