Focusing on Marathon Runners, here are the latest lines, kind of being like their very own horror story, ngl. ( •⌄• ू )✧

Ada had let a traitor in the house. And now Lux is gone.

“When she applied to run in the Boston Marathon in 1966 they rejected her saying: “Women are not physiologically able to run a marathon, and we can’t take the liability.” Then exactly 50 years ago today, on the day of the marathon, Bobbi Gibb hid in the bushes and waited for the race to begin. When about half of the runners had gone past she jumped in. She wore her brother’s Bermuda shorts, a pair of boy’s sneakers, a bathing suit, and a sweatshirt. As she took off into the swarm of runners, Gibb started to feel overheated, but she didn’t remove her hoodie. “I knew if they saw me, they were going to try to stop me,” she said. “I even thought I might be arrested.” It didn’t take long for male runners in Gibb’s vicinity to realize that she was not another man. Gibb expected them to shoulder her off the road, or call out to the police. Instead, the other runners told her that if anyone tried to interfere with her race, they would put a stop to it. Finally feeling secure and assured, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. As soon as it became clear that there was a woman running in the marathon, the crowd erupted—not with anger or righteousness, but with pure joy, she recalled. Men cheered. Women cried. By the time she reached Wellesley College, the news of her run had spread, and the female students were waiting for her, jumping and screaming. The governor of Massachusetts met her at the finish line and shook her hand. The first woman to ever run the marathon had finished in the top third.”

Endlessly refreshing the Barkley Marathons updates to see if my girl Jasmin Paris makes it onto loop 5. About 8 hours ago she was on track to be the first woman ever to finish the race.

You might remember her from previous ultra running achievements like "fastest woman to complete a Barkley Fun Run (3 loops, 60 miles)" and "overall winner and record-smasher of the Pennine Way Spine Race while expressing milk for her baby at aid stations".

For the uninitiated, Barkley is the most straight-up insane race that exists:

Limited to 35-40 attendees

5 loops totalling 100+ miles

Entrance requirements are...unclear, but include an essay section and a scavenger-hunt-type item

Course is unmarked and very mountainous; GPS navigation not permitted

Invented to mock James Earl Ray, who managed a measly 12 miles in the area during his prison escape

Most people don't finish the race, or even the Fun Run (only 10 people were left running as of last night, and that was a record high)

"Checkpoints" come in the form of finding a book that's been hidden on the course and tearing out the page matching your race number

Start time is whenever the organiser lights his cigarette

We will be taking these lines from the work, Marathon Runners!

The mansion almost seems alive.

It is almost as if Ada can feel it, the walls and foundation breathing and shifting, if only softly. She wants to reach out and feel the stone, to see if she can feel the breaths, can find a pulse or something else within the walls of the house.

She keeps her hands to herself, quietly follows Natalia as she leads her to the rooms. The doors shift, going from large dark brown wooden walls to softer pink doors more worn from use and history. Natalia gently knocks against some of them, hearing something that Ada didn’t bother to eavesdrop on.

Natalia gently knocks against some of them, hearing something that Ada didn’t bother to eavesdrop on.

Large windows give her a good view of the landscape, the gentle lights of the garden glowing softly. The bed sits in the middle of them, larger than any other bed that Ada has been in, a canopy holding silky white curtains, probably for privacy. Two doors sit on either side of the room, Ada guessing that they are a bathroom and closet.

She is still staring when she hears a snort, tearing her eyes away from the room to find Natalia giving her a smirk as she watches her.
