I must now recount a story I read, this was not me, let it be said.
A guy was playing some RPG wherein spellcasting was done by having to say a short rhyme, and the GM would decide what happened based on what you said and how apropos it was. So, the group fell down a large hole and wound up in complete darkness. The mage quickly blurted out "Rabbits, chickens, cows, and ducks! Turn on the lights, Fiat Lux!" The GM, laughing, described how the cavern lit up, revealing a number of confused looking barnyard animals (the aforementioned rabbits, chickens, cows, and ducks), a strange four-wheeled metal carriage with no obvious way to hook up a horse to it (Fiat being an Italian car company), and several bars of soap (Lux is a UK-based soap company). Unfortunately, they couldn't convince the GM to let them figure out some way to hotwire the car and take it with them.

That's very funny, though a bit sad as well, I hope that they were able to complete their adventure.
Oh, and my previous post (while completely true with every word) was meant to be read as a joke.
I know I was just trying to think about it while also trying not to think about the times I've had spam. Between all that I couldn't think of a response.

Oh, that is a good one!

Where have I been...running marathons by myself since all races have gone virtual, or been cancelled.
Spartan sprint on 7th November has been postponed till 2021. So I decided to run a marathon to see:
a) If I can
b) Because there's nothing else to do.
So my timing for that 42.2k would be 5 h 23 min 29 s.
My company has sold one out of the two vessels so we only have one vessel to deal with.
Climbing wise...
Here are my latest trophies:
Black rocks only - difficulty - 6a/6a+, but I hate slopers. Besides its a lot of high knees which is a bit hard for small cats like me.
White rocks only - difficulty - 6b/6b+
I've also joined my running group on the standard chartered virtual marathon and I'm now holding 4th place for distance covered this month (the top 3 are beyond my reach). I'm a turtle type runner. I'm willing to put in time to run, but I run at a turtle pace - so at the end of the day I can't really clock that much distance.
Besides the top 3 runners are probably those who have trained for years - I can't match them for mileage - I tried running 15 km 3 days in a row and even though it can be done, I was pretty much flat on the 4th day. There are lucky draw prizes to be won in the challenges - this week's challenge is to run 10 km. I've already done in 3 times, I'm going to head off to try again - it'll probably take me 1h 10 min + since I am in no hurry.

Hey Mort good to hear from you! you got to check in with us more often!
You are killing it. when you gonna do Ninja warrior?
Running for 1-2h a day sort of eats into your day when you still have to cook for everyone you know...
I even had to plan my marathon properly - I waited for the day my in-laws were not eating dinner, cooked dinner at 4 pm, ate it, then hit the road at 5pm. Ran from sunset until near midnight. I told myself this was my night and this time I didn't have any commitments to get in my way to cause me to shorten my run. I even had indoor plans in case it started raining - I'd just complete my marathon in the sheltered stadium.
But at least the weather was good so I ran outdoors. It gives my marathon a little more validity(though an actual full one would be harder since there would be more elevation, and likely the timing would be less favourable).
Ninja warrior is insanely hard - talk about doing a Spartan Trifecta first.
Again if they allow mass sporting events in Singapore with Covid-19 still looming around...

True.
So finished the next little world of my game. the party released a bunch of high power semi psychotic wizards while rescuing one for their current quest. So that is totally not gonna come back and bite them in the rear.
They did get the chaotic neutral sword which went to the cat folk rogue. I approve of this decision as he is already chaotic... Their was a issue in a potion shop. very messy.

I ran a half marathon in about 2h 9 min and 58s today. Would have been faster but I turned off my run app by pawing it by mistake while midrun and didn't realize it until much later. So I actually ran 20.9km instead of 21.1km as the pacer who didn't know any better told me to just run to finish point instead of looping cos we ran an extra long loop the last set. I am taking the pacers timing since there's no way I can't cover 200m in 2 min..
Also got a blister on my paw.

Ouch on the blister. 2 hours is a good time for a half marathon if im not mistaken. Certainly beats the heck out of what I could do.
2h or sub 2 is better but it's a bit hard to do it in the tropics. Too hot. I don't even suggest that you run a half marathon without training first.
Blister on my paw was because I didn't wear my mittens properly.
