9781449459956 English 1449459951 #1 "New York Times" best-selling author, The Oatmeal (Matthew Inman), delivers a side cramp-inducing marathon of comics, many brand-new and never seen before, about running...and lardy cake balls, talking taste buds, Godzilla, bacon, euphoria, and misery. "The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances" is as thought-provoking as it is hilarious. The Dos and Don'ts of running your first marathon, a field guide to who is checking out whom at the gym, anti-motivational messages (Just do it later), Oatmealy infographics, and, of course The (ever-present) Blerch complete this brilliant offering, a book for not only runners but also anyone who breathes, eats, and has a sense of humor. Runners spend much time inside their own heads, and for The Oatmeal, that's a wonderfully creative, oddly informative, whimsical, magical place to be. The Blerch 0.0 miles race sticker is included inside the book, along with a new, original Oatmeal bumper sticker available only in this book.
