Whatever doesn't kill you . . .

Is supposed to make you stronger.

Does this therefore imply that the closer you get to death, the stronger you become?

If so, I am going to be super strong now. 20 miles in 3:10. Oh and I can barely move now. Every muscle and joint I am aware of in my legs hurt.

So I guess Ignorance would be Bliss then...

As you said that every muscle and joint in your legs ...that you are aware of... hurts.


I then submit that if you did not have such a vast (?) knowledge of the anatomy of your lower limbs, they would not hurt.

Awesome time! You are going to rock that marathon. I bet you finish in under 4 hours you probably won't feel all that different after the actual race. That's how I felt for about 5 days, very sore all over. You'll be better prepared than I was though, so you might recover even quicker. I am excited to hear how the race goes.

I'm not so sure about the logic. Suppose X is the quantity of Arsenic necessary to kill someone who can run 20 miles in 3 hours. Then X/2 is something that will not kill you. Ergo, it will make you stronger. Yet, when you take X/2 and then immediately take X/2 we see that you are dead. Ergo, you were not stronger after taking X/2 but rather were weaker.

In spanish they say, "that which doesn't kill you, makes you fat." I tend to agree with that more...
