Comments: This was a fun event to do once just to say you did it. It was a spectacle and it was for a good cause (North Carolina Children's hospital). You just can't take it too seriously - and really, if you take yourself that seriously as a runner, why are you signing up for a five mile doughnut run? I recommend the race as it is fun and well run. I felt I was well suited for it. I have done runs of all distances and I am no stranger to overeating. A meal doesn't end when I am full. A meal ends when I hate myself (credit to Louis C.K. for this joke) I reached that 'hate myself' stage on doughnuts 4-8 and hated life in general on doughnuts 9-12. It presented a unique challenge that I wasn't as prepared for as I had thought. I think it is better for those with 20-30 year old metabolisms - I would have enjoyed it more during the college years. Taking this on at age 42 was probably not the best timing, but I did it anyway. Likely never again...
