I believe that you are also an Olympian in another sport.

That said, we must remember that This Is LetsRun.com. People that post here are important. OP needs to know his place.

Ryan Hill, 13:05 5K PR, 7th at world champs last year, and 2nd indoors, just got cut down as an abject loser the other day.

In the new order, only defending Olympic or World Championship (outdoor) medalists qualify as elite. Anyone else is a hobby jogger, a bum, hanger on, or wanna be.

And the appropriate income level used to be $400K per year. Well that's just been upped to $1 million. Likewise, your house has to be worth a million, and not only must you have a wife that's a 10, your mistresses (note plural, and bonus point if one is overseas) must be kept in comfort and they must also be 10s.

Dude running 20:41 gets nipped at the line!

Goes home DEVASTATED!

With all due respect, you got 3rd. Not first. Call me when you win something.

Losts of people have hobbies they make some money with but it isn't enough to earn a living. Sorry, you are still a hobby jogger.

Wrong...

The IRS defines a hobby as an activity you pursue without expecting to make a taxable profit. Basically, you do it because you like it, regardless of the cost.

Read more:

Entry fee was $35, I earned $75...that's $40 profit.

Minus costs of all other races enteres, shoes, clothes, travel expenses, etc...associated with your hobby. Sorry, you are in the red. Still a hobby.

False. Haven't run any other races this quarter, barefoot runner, already owned the shorts, local 5k means $3 in gas for 'travel expenses' and all my other runs are around my house. Sure, this is the first quarter I've turned a profit, but there's a lot more where that came from I'm pretty certain. I won by over a minute...

WTF is in your crack pipe, Tyrone? Not breaking 20 means you are a hobby jogger.

$75 ain't taxable.

It's cool. Just accept you are a hobby jogger and carry on. There's more to life.

No need to accept that. Still haven't seen anything to prove me wrong. I'm a paid athelete.
