It must be all that hard work at the newspaper…..

Why run when you can fly?

He’ll never do that again.

If you going to do something, make it last.

You can peak too early.

Was that because you were a beer chaser. And then you became a stout fellow. And now you are bitter about life. You should ferment new goals. Or you my end up barley moving around.

Judging by the size of you now, you’d be lucky to be able to fly a mile in 4 min., 22 sec. Though he’s heavier now, he was probably somewhat heavy then.

Do it again, and you could be re-tired.

I ran track one year in high school, hated it, never ran since.

As seen by his spare tire.

Was he being chased by a cat?

It’s OK Cosmo, it happens to all of us sooner or later.

Kind of like Al Bundy running for 4 touchdowns for Polk High

Why would a bird run a mile?

He who runs in front of car gets tired. He who runs behind car gets exhausted.

A 4 min. 22 sec. mile is really fast! Maybe he flew it, but run?

I ran a mile once. One lap a month.

I can walk a mile in 20 minutes. Same speed I could do it when I was 15. I remember because I walked to school many mornings when I missed the bus.

Ya know, some forty years ago, I remember a picture of the Perfessor, and the caption read; “I tried jogging but it shook up my beer.”

Cosmo ran it, and I’M tired.

Wasn’t that the song sung by the Teutonic Titwillow?
