2009 LetsRun.com April Fool's Reaction We had our annual April Fool's edition yesterday at LetsRun.com and judging from the emails below we had a lot of people fall for it. No one threatened a lawsuit like in 2004, but some of the emails were pretty heated. From industry insiders, to first-time visitors, to LetsRun.com regulars we had people writing to say they were tricked. Some even were still pissed off believing the homepage was real. The top emails below: "LetsRun.com Gave the Internet Meaning" I'm really sad to see the Quote of the Day. I'm sure you will be inundated with emails so I'll keep this short.
Let's Run has been a daily part of my life for
several years now. Thank you for all of your hard work on putting this
site together. For me, LetsRun.com gave the Internet meaning.
Seeing as how I am now unemployed, I understand the economics of W.
The
bright side is that I have time to take up the reigns of running the
site. Perhaps we could find a symbiotic relationship that will allow
us to keep the site alive.
Anyhow, best of luck in all of your endeavors.
Sincerely,

No more Let's Run
When I saw that
I went into cardiac arrest.
Luckily, Dorothy was close by.
As I lay there flopping around on the floor
Like a fish out of water
She pulls the wires out of our floor lamp
Saying, "Don't worry! This will help! "
Well, let me tell the first jolt certainly brought me around to my senses.
Smiling, she say's to me, "I better give you one more for good measure."
At this point I'll trying to tell her, "I'm feeling better! No, really I am!"
But she was determined to make sure.
Oh, my Lord, that second one lifted me off the ground
And left me with a new hair style.
The doctor say's I'll be better in a few days
And the scorch marks on my chest will heal up.
I'll still having a few involuntary twitches now and again.
But, he said that will pass as well.
And Dorothy.
Well,
She say's, " I love you and I'm always here for you.
And by the way, those Let's Run guys were only joking around!"
Thank-you gentlemen
For your love of running.
A Few People Almost Fooled Your quote of the day
had better be an "April Fool's Day" joke! I'm already furious that
Trackshark is gone and now you're shutting down, also? Please tell me
this isn't real!

Man I was severely depressed when I saw your message>>you guys totally got me on the April Fools thing.

I've run for 45 years and counting and Let's Run is a highlight of the sport.
From the 60's & 70's Golden Age of running in North America
Through all the changes our sport has gone through
To now
Let's Run represents a revival
Of the Spirit of Running
