An earlier argument was made about Edward beating Galen and this confirms the argument. No way can I imagine such toughness and will-power coming from us - spoiled, coddled Americans.

Cheserek has the ability to go into the unknown - a factor that I have yet to see from Galen. He isn't afraid to take risks. I could be wrong, but I have yet to see this "wildness" from Galen. Everything is controlled and risk free. I want Galen to be a world champ, but he needs to let loose and really go for it, i.e. King Ches style.

Rupp never finished his UofO undergrad business degree. It's been more than five-years since he left UofO, and at this point is unlikely he will ever finish the degree.

The question is, why not finish? Was it because training was more important--an immediate goal--than a long-term working?

re: dial it up

The whole Ches story i so full of crap. I think it is 100% BS. 1st of all I recall all these Kenyans years back claiming how they had to run 10 miles to school - 10 home for lunch then 10 back to school hen 10 to get home at night. years later I saw an interview with a Kenyan runner who said most of those stories are false just made up cause that was the type stuff people wanted to hear. plus why was every school in Kenya built so far from where people lived?

As far as Ches - when he 1st came here his whole story was an orphan (now he claims to have a mom and dad), he claimed to never had run before he came here (ok we know that is not true now) and how when he did a steeple in HS it was his first then it came out that he had run a few in Kenya. So I think 99% of what he says is fake
