I don't think any thread on LetsRun will ever make me laugh more than this one did, but I'm still hoping another one like that will come along. This is at the top of my personal Mt. Rushmore, even if I may be the only one that has it there.
The over 50 training thread has been a great resource for runners who are trying to hold on to a bit of speed as father time starts to make those PRs a distant memory.
There are really good long threads on injuries that are so extensive that they should be required reading for anyone who is a sports med. There is a very long thread for loss of coordination/runner's dystonia and a couple of good threads on high hamstring injuries.
The marathon investigation/runner cheating threads were the best hold my popcorn threads. Kip Litton is probably the top one. Mike Rossi was also pretty legendary. But it all kind of got to be too much with the Frank Meza story. Meza was accused of cheating and then committed suicide.
Funniest threads are Deer Kara Goucher and the annual Turkey Trot threads.
There is only one thread worthy of being on Mt Rushmore.
Hole versus Pile
Alas the thread itself is lost to history, but a copy of the critical part still lives on.
Original Post:
My buddy is a developer and has a plot of land with a GIANT hole in it. Think the size of a football stadium and parking lot. It was excavated to use the material to make concrete/sand or something like that.
What would YOU do with a giant hole in the ground?
Landfill and parking lot have already been suggested.

The natural enemy of the hole is the pile!
You must locate a giant pile and allow them to do battle.
A lot of buzz in Pennsylvania with 4:06 miler Craig Miller a no-show at the Shippensburg Invitational. A favorite for the Mile at Penn Relays, his absence would leave a void in a mile race that Forys and Rhodes-Devey are alre...
I am thinkin at least a 6. If it was not messy. Then it goes up to an 8. It's not like you are doin brain surgery right after. But if you are, then it is an easy 9.

I didn't actually put my PRs on my resume, but I did put on my resume that I ran XC and track in college. Then I was asked what my PRs were and for some reason--I don't know I wanted to look cool--I lied and said I ran 15:43...
The year is 2027. Colt Goucher has just won his third consecutive Footlocker National Championship. Adam is his coach. ESPN has been infatuated with the Gouchers since Adam came out of retirement to win the New York City Mara...
So we've all heard of the dad who took his kids to the Boston Marathon, and got a letter from the principal saying their absences were unexcused, and posted a response letter on Facebook that went viral: http://www.today.com/...
what about the guy who got busted cheating at Lehigh to qualify for Boston.
People were able to determine that other than start and finish photos, he never showed in any of the other photo spots.
Then didn't the brojos challenge him to race and he cheated there too?
I don't believe they challenged him to a race. If I recall correctly, they offered him $10,000 if he could run a legitimate marathon in a Boston qualifying time within something like three months. He was to have an observer with him the entire time so he could not cheat. He never answered the challenge.
Rossi was also offered (I think $10k) to run a sub 20 5K which he tried to cheat on by going over the start line last then hanging around the finish mat to trigger the timing mat but did his sums wrong.
