Unknown(?) Local Runner Claiming to be Shooting for US Woman's 10 Mile Road Record

And so will we see this filly

from outside philly

on a course that hilly?

of course that's silly

but will she

like her boss be

just another mike rossi

so shady

cutting courses like rosie

ruiz way back in 1980

I kinda hope she does get the record, i feel like it would get more people to train seriously, if this random no name can set the american record why cant i?

Looks like the Fun Run and Jill have been upstaged by the Quakertown Rotary Charity Golf Day and Tiger friggin Woods, unbelievable.

Over to you Austin and Bob, world record for Jilly?

Is Rexing Update?

40 years old on March 10 just 5 days after Jill sets a new American record.

Jason Rexing didn't just run a fast time in trainers, he ran 13-f**king-55 in trainers.

the joke isn't funny anymore

Jason Rexing was mentioned a few times related to this story and a quick google shows he's a letsrun meme, but I'm registered and have been around for awhile and I don't know the original context.

^This. Records are there to be broken.

So sad, all this negativity here. I am rooting for the Great Jill. Have you never overcome the odds, and done the impossible? E.g., gone from a solid 3:50ish mary to an outstanding 3:11?

Why does the Facebook post say she's going for the record on March 6th when the race is scheduled for March 5th?

Word.

There seems to be a curious idea here that an in-joke if repeated often enough becomes a "meme" and thus can be repeated endlessly regardless of context with automatically hilarious consequences.

"Paulo knows how to find me" is an excellent example, the first time in a thread is "meh", the 20th time is "what a moran".

REXING 101

Winter of 2003, Rexing is a post-collegiate who's saddled up with the Stanford-based and ailing Nike Farm team. He's had a few quiet years, but is hooked into a crew of sub-4, sub-8, sub-14 types. He appears in the flesh for the 2003 Husky Invite at the relatively new UW Dempsey Indoor with it's 307m flat track. I'm a dyestat/letsrun-obsessed high schooler who's driven in for the race; I'm ecstatic.

In the ensuing years, the track becomes a hotbed for fast times, but in 2003, it attracts the available west coast talent from post-collegiate circles and the PAC-10. Dave Davis, (a Max King of that era) takes it out through one mile; Louchini takes over for the win with an even-paced Rexing dipping under 14:

About a week after the race a thread appears on Letsrun asking for verification about the trainers. There's an air of tongue-in-cheek to the post, and immediately it takes off:

In discussions with Farm Team guys in later years, they confirmed that they started it as a joke one night and stoked the original humor and Chuck Norris-esque persona. We all ate it up and it became immediatly LRC Legend.

NOW YOU KNOW (your meme)

Oh deer. Now you've done it.

I heard Jill already shot a 58 on the course and will be attempting to shoot the record under par score again on August 10th.

Moran!

It's been fun, but there is just too much negative energy here and too many new a**holes who post bullshit and lots of great people who used to post all the time who have left or gone underground. I'm out. Life is too short. I'll be in kona. Hope to see some of you there. Paulo knows how to find me.
