The Hypothetical Hypermarathon

  • Michael5000's Running Avatar has left Portland and is running generally east, out into the great big world.
  • June 10 -- Just outside of Roosevelt, Washington, population ~60.
  • June 2 -- Back on Washington Highway 14, looking down on the John Day Dam.
  • June 1 -- The Avatar crossed the Columbia again and checked out the Stonehenge Memorial on the way to the Maryhill Museum.
  • May 29 -- Still in the Columbia Gorge, the Avatar crosses into Sherman County for what is probably his last stop in Oregon for a long, long time.
  • May 19th -- Passing through The Dalles, Oregon.

The Humanly Prowess -- since August 2009

  • June 8 -- 11.5 miles sets a running record for the 8th.
  • June 2 -- 7.44 miles is a record-breaking 16th consecutive Sunday and wraps up the highest-mileage week of 2013.
  • June 1 -- A big 12.3 miles is the longest run so far in 2013 and an all-time record for the first of the month.
  • May 29 -- 7.09 miles gets rid of the only remaining sub-seven day-of-month record, although the 29th remains the day with the shortest record.
  • May 26 -- Tied the record for consecutive Sundays run, at 15.
  • May 25 -- 4.04 miles is an all-time record for New Mexico. Also, I've now run in 11 states.

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.

  • June 1 -- 202.6
  • May 28 -- 204.2
  • May 16 -- Weigh-in for work weight-loss contest: 208
  • 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...
