The Hypothetical Hypermarathon

  • Michael5000's Running Avatar has left Portland and is running generally east, out into the great big world.
  • May 19th -- Passing through The Dalles, Oregon.
  • May 12 -- The Avatar passes back into Oregon at Hood River and continues eastward on the Mark Hatfield Trail.
  • April 28 -- Passing by Beacon rock in the beautiful Columbia Gorge.
  • April 23 -- Standing on the corner in downtown Camas, Washington.
  • April 17 -- THE AVATAR IS HOME!!!

The Humanly Prowess -- since August 2009

  • May 19 -- 8.26 is a best-ever mileage for the 19th. I'm also at 14 consecutive Sundays, 1 short of the record, as well as 14 consecutive Saturdays.
  • April 27 -- A nice 9.06 mile run passes us over the best-April-ever mark and gives me an record of 11 consecutive running Saturdays.
  • April 25 -- By the by, I've currently tied the records for most consecutive Saturdays and most consecutive Wednesdays run. But who's counting.
  • April 20 -- 9.62 miles is a surprise all-time record for the 20th of the month!
  • April 14 -- 5.53 miles is an all-time record for a run resulting in hospital treatment for dog bite injuries!
  • April 6 -- 10.1 miles is the first ever double-digit run for April.

Our Mission Statement

As the internet's preeminent site for interactive, democratic art appreciation, Infinite Art Tournament frees great art from the straitjackets of chronology and categorical conventions in order to put it in a new straitjacket of its own devising. The IAT further seeks to delight its community of creative, bracingly intelligent, and drop-dead sexy readers with glib but cheerful dispatches from the worlds of literature, film, the visual arts, music, chemistry, Shakespeare, postal ephemera, vexillology, and hagiography. College football rarely comes up.

  • May 3 -- 208
  • March 10 -- 205.4
  • Feb 24 -- 206.0 -- but clearly we've got a little problem to work on here.
  • Feb 23 -- 207.6 -- Uh-oh...
  • January 5 -- 204.4. Oops!
  • July 1 - 200
  • June 24 -- 200
