    I remeber a guy on my college team, he would go out every night of the week. one night he went out and finshed a bottle of vodka, he did not get to sleep till 3 that morning. Dude woke up the next day for a race and i remeber he just clicking off this mile around 4:10, i mean in the race dude just looked around and smiled at us as he went by to pass the lead three guys to win the DMR. THats was the moment i realized what talent is and what hard work is, he did not work hard times like that just came to him.

    Do you mean "lurker guy"?

    Also, your post confuses me. "(speed I admit)"? WTF? 18:50 is good for 4 miles, but even for HS girls 18:50 is not special. And how is it that after "tons" of anything that something happens "suddenly".

    As in, "After years of eating TONS of ice cream I suddenly got fat, I was shocked!"

    Just a little mocking. It was a lot better late last night.

    When I ran 10:47 for 2 miles as a HS freshman, I knew I had more guts then talent.
