We'll be friends, I'll call you again, I'll chase you around every bar you attend
Never know what kind of car I'll be in, we'll see how much you'll be partyin' then
I'm thinking the bold strategy is put a snorlax in the lineup. Send your scoring 5 out and use snorlax to get out fast the first 100m and then block up the course.
Rapidash
Tauros
Arcanine
Flareon
Persian
Snorlax

(Then again, I assume everyone in my age range would have Alan Webb as their hero but that doesn't seem to be the case.)
It is definitely my favorite video game (besides sports or physical ones like DDR) and I loved the card game, except no one else my age was patient enough to learn the card game, they just collected the cards to show off, so I haven't played it in forever.

You kids make me smile [which isn't the case with everything on this message board.]
'screams: it's only because of you that I know to associate "DDR" with something other than the former East Germany. I believe you mentioned you grew up in Providence on another thread - you didn't happen to go to Classical did you?
Hardloper: I'm 49 but I'm also a big Alan Webb fan - just fear his best days are behind him. When he ran his HS record I was way overweight and barely running, but after that race I just HAD get out and run and [somewhat by coincidence] started losing weight and running more consistently not long after. Did you start following him back in his HS days when you were a kid or in his best years when I guess you would have been in HS?
Well it cant include gastly or haunter.
I would say any team with abra...but teleportation probably doesn't count as running
Rapidash - is an obvious one, should be on everyone's list.
Dodrio - In the show this was the second fastest pokemon you could ride behind only Rapidash
Jolteon - Great speed (second best in the game to only electrode) and agility.
Tauros - Another one with Great Speed
Starmie - Great speed in game and Misty races with it in show.
Onix - Every team needs their wild card and muscle, Onix provides this and more.

I... Yes. But I didn't run there. They tried to get me to run but I was too busy swimming all the time. Have you been following Maddy Berkson? I can't believe that much talent is coming out of Classical. She's amazing.

also there would need to be a Pokemon Center at the end of the course, and it would need to be the last Pokemon Center you visited too

Totally digging this, that would need to be one fast Snorlax though

I knew people who went to Classical when I was in college, in particular a gal who's Classical class of 1982 who's lived in Seattle for years and has a daughter who's right around your age. Small world.
This is no surprise. Everyone from Rhode Island knows each other.

Or at a minimum everyone from the East Side of Providence knows each other. "Where Rich Folks Live on Power, but Most of Us Live off Hope."
Anyway, be well and keep making the letsrun message board a happier place.

Whoa really??!! I remember you talking about DDR once but didn't know that. One of my best friends in HS was a freak at DDR so we all got into it. I'll have to come to your running club team thing sometime, I had thought about running the XC season, but I have barely been running 40 miles a week so I need to ramp that back up.
And yeah I thought about using Snorlax in a course like Van Cortlandt Park, where that's actually a legitimate strategy, but I still don't think he'd get there quick enough.

Hahahaha.......... I like how everyone associates me with being an Alan Webb fan. I am very proud of that thread I started but I try not to let my fanhood affect the rest of my life *too* much.
Yes, I was in HS 2004-2008 so he was pretty much the man. One of our coaches/teachers gave us posters of him and everything. I didn't follow running that much back then but definitely knew him. Before 2004 I had never done anything remotely endurance related (no soccer or anything, just lots of golf and baseball), and I kind of figured you had to be African to be any good. The first inspiring race I watched was the 2004 Olympic Marathon which really changed that belief, but it was all Webb's races after that. Plus Webb just looked like the type of athlete you want to be, at least before he was really balding...
I kindasorta used to play DDR and ITG really competitively.

Unfortunately minor running injuries have kind of forced me out of it. Ultimately, my running took priority, and DDR isn't fun with plantar fasciitis (a single game will make it REALLY flare up nowadays, a lot more than a run).
6 Rapidashes
It seems like a lot of people have thought about this before
Pokemon are not real.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
