Murphy’s Law for Runners

Published by Casey McGuire May 3rd, 2008 in Funning Running

dog in stroller- Your chances of an injury rise proportionally with the amount of the entry fee you just paid.
- If a race brochure says “no dogs or strollers,” you will see a dog get hit by a stroller.
- You will set a PR the day your chip falls off at the starting line.
- If that cute guy/girl is checking out your butt, it’s because you split your shorts.
- You will apply Vaseline to your back and BenGay to your … chafed areas.
- At Mile 24 of your marathon, the aid station will be handing out espresso-flavored Clif Shots.
- After waiting in line for 45 minutes, your Port-o-Potty will be out of paper … and seat covers … and then the lock will jam.
- As you sprint to the finish you will be nosed out by a 10-year-old girl.
- Medical research will reveal that eating half-bananas causes sterility.
- You set the alarm properly, eat a sensible breakfast, stretch, warm up, pack your gear, and get to the starting line in plenty of time … because you forgot the race is tomorrow.

    Isn’t this all true. I remember I set a PR for a 10K and my chip fell off at the start/finish line. It sucked too because I walked the whole 10K race afterwords to finally be told it was dropped at the finish line and I had placed 1st in my age group. LOL. Good ole Murphy.
