If it hasn't broken, make it better.

Today, as I was pulling up to Staples to pick up some nice new pens, I noticed a car in the parking lot with the Ironman logo (the race, not the superhero) on it's back window with the words "Ironman or bust!".  Upon closer inspection, I noticed there was a giant "You go girl!" painted on the right side of the car.  I'm pretty good at using deductive reasoning, so I figure the woman who owns the van is attempting to do the Ironman.

If you don't know, the ironman consists of a marathon (26.2 mile run), a 2.4 mile swim, and a 112 mile bike ride.
Not your typical morning workout.  My father did an ironman, and anybody who can cover 140.6 miles in a single day, not in a car, is batshit insane.

So, feeling like this person needs all the encouragement she can get, I grab a handful of my "Never Quit" stickers out of my glovebox, write on a piece of paper "You can do it!" and put them all under their windshield wiper.

Hopefully she enjoyed it.
