The Blerch

The Oatmeal (an amusing comic) talks about why he runs long distances. He runs Ultra marathons (50K) to avoid what he calls the Blerch.

I can identify with the Blerch - he and I are in a constant battle in my house. I run every other day and the Blerch often tries to convince me to skip a day or to run for less time. He's evil.......

Last week the Blerch almost got me - I put off running alllllll day and ended up on the tread mill at 9:00pm. Wasn't a pretty run but it got done. Not thanks to the Blerch


The oatmeal's Blerch - I heard you can get him on a t-shirt - I need one!!!
