don't worry about the past; put it behind you. (I think you have). Don't let people get you upset. If Nike wants to help you out, today, in 2007, then I wouldn't turn my back on free shoes or anything else either. It's a tough world out there. Help is help. I'd take it too.

To relax....

Yeah relax! You got the feelings of a human-being.These guys don't understand that with my comeback means,I'm entering a wild Zoo where one has to be one a head of the game in order to win it.I learned a hard way, so I got to survive one way or the other right!

Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn't mean the circus has left town.

I eat alot of food for energy and the fat turns to muscle. this is my current plan. how does this sound to you?

Our sport gets such great respect. One of the greatest runners ever and they get the country wrong even though it is written right in the same line.

do you know how he placed in his age group?

I don't want to come off as someone who thinks he knows it all. But, speed kills, stay away from it.

Henry, at your age (at almost any age) aerobic training is the most beneficial and the safest. Combine that with hills which develop speed and threshold training and you will continue to improve without the setbacks from high intensity. Healthy runners run better than injured runners.

Henry, i remember reading somewhere, way back in the 70's or early 80's where you said "runners aren't built overnight" or something to that effect. Stay in this for the long term, steady wins the race.

Henry,

Are you back from San Francisco yet? Hope you are feeling okay.

glad to hear it! letting the hamstring heal and losing weight have to be your 2 top priorities now if you have any chance of making it to the world masters championships in Sept. WE'RE WITH YOU!

Henry:

what place did you get at Bay to Breakers for your age group?

Did you really 'race' the race or simply pace it as a good workout, careful not to strain the hamstring, further?

Did any naked people or people in crazy outfits upset you or make you laugh? There used to be some very good younger guys who would run as a centipide, all 8 of them and run about 6 minute pace back in the 80's.

The Aggies ran well under 6 pace.

They had some kind of photos with women's budducts showing off,before the race that turn me on and off;however, that did come on my mind while I was in the middle of the race.Those kinds of clothes suppose to be night time underwear women put on before bed time,but they had to show us as for our memory before racing.I don't know why they had to remind us before the race.I thought what was weird.What do you think why they did that?

Henry

It's San Francisco, where 'anything goes'!.....this particular race is known as a 'crazy-Halloween-dressup event', anyway, for many years; though the top 20 are always very good pro runners; most, after about a hundred places are crazy kooks and fun runners cutting loose and having fun.

wow...sad news...did you see this or hear about it?

Joe Spinale, an avid runner, waved to his wife as he crossed the finish line at Sunday's Bay to Breakers race before he collapsed and died of an apparent heart attack.

It wasn't until hours later that his wife, Kim Spinale, found out that her 53-year-old husband had died.

"I waited and waited and waited and he didn't come,'' Kim Spinale said Monday. She first waited for him at Ocean Beach at a meeting spot the couple had picked before the 7.46-mile race, and then at the race's official post-event meeting site at the Golden Gate Park Polo Grounds. Finally, a couple of hours after he completed the run, she checked at the lost-and-found tent. A Red Cross volunteer delivered the news.

"I couldn't believe it,'' she said. "He was in good shape, healthy, fit.''

I'm confuse on this one.Did he died? I saw an paramedic people coming by at the finsh line.From there I don't know what happen.Did you say some one died or he finish healthy fit? You got me lost.Please tell your story in a clear way.

It's pretty clear. Read slower.

Henry, I gotta ask:

Why on earth were you wearing a singlet from Umeå? That's gotta be one of the more obscure places I ever expected to see on one of the world's greatest athletes. Especially one who hails from a place that's as close to the Equator as Umeå is to the Arctic Circle.

Henry. Are you going to be in Nashville June 2nd to race?
