Did Mike Rossi (viral marathon dad) cheat his way into Boston?

I don't see where anyone has said that they are concerned with, as you put it or asked, " is that Rossi's wife might find out that Ken finds her ugly. That's what may upset her?" or "Your wife would care that one random crazy guy pissed off at your husband was calling her ugly?"

I certainly am not concerned with it, except perhaps from the kid angle in that this will be forever plastered over the web. What I take issue is why does he have to or why is he allowed to continually spew that rubbish here in this forum. My objection has nothing to do with his wife's perspective of Ken or Ken's ironic name calling.

And what is so special about this thread from every other thread on LRC? Do you read the other threads? How about this gem from a few threads up - do you honestly think Ken's stupidity stands out on at LRC?

I do not read other threads. Is that appropriate? No, but it doesn't mention someone's children or wife either by reference or by actual name as your man LMR has. Are you related to SmartRunnr by chance?

I'd rather Ken went away or if he can't stay away then simply obey the instructions in red at the top of every page of this thread

"Please do not post personal information in this thread and keep the discussion on topic"

But the suggestion that has frequently been made about this thread that it has no place on Letsrun is quite laughable when you look at many other threads, at least this one is about running.

Actually this thread is about "driving." Sorry couldn't resist.

I get why people don't want to see distasteful comments or personal attacks on this thread, but come on now. This is LRC, do you really think the mods get paid that much and have capacity to skim through every word and play ethics police? I say it's on Ken's consience to keep posting all that garbage that has nothing to do with Mike's cheating. Trust me, he wouldn't still be lurking here if people didn't react to him. So either chose to react to him or ignore and scroll through to what you like. The whole registered name requirement was pretty stupid to begin with. Obviously trolls, Ken and Mike sympathizers have continued to post here so it didn't do much to curb the trash. 10k pages coming soon!

Okay...then who is the RD for the Haddon Turkey Trot 5K that took place on Sat, 11/28?

I just want to say again that I think somebody trustworthy should contact the RD of the Turkey Trot. I think it's highly likely that "NoName" is actually Mike and he didn't contact the timing company or the RD at all. Follow up and cover your tracks. Mike is a sneaky one.

No idea but as people probably know, there is a "For More Information" contact point and number here

Talk about logical fallacies.

Facts:

Guy 1 commits a crime and is prosecuted for it.

Guy 2 calls Guy 1's wife a fat ugly slut.

Guy 1's crime affects the wife worse than Guy 2's actions.

Conclusions:

If you denounce Guy 2's actions on the basis of unnecessary harm to the wife, you must also not prosecute Guy 1 because his actions affected the wife more.

I'll contact the RD either later today or tomorrow. Can't do it right now, busy at work... I can vouch for the fact that noname is legitimate and did contact DQ Events/Chuck Sellers as I received the same reply from Chuck that noname did. I would really like one more photo from the finish, but am not having any luck. I reached out to all the people on Strava that ran the 5k with no luck so far. If anyone knows and can contact the Aylmers, they are the most likely to have the photo we need. If not, I'll leave it up to the RD to do a little bit of work...

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. You may be generally unhappy and disappointed when you're not given the special favors or admiration you believe you deserve. Others may not enjoy being around you, and you may find your relationships unfulfilling.

Really? Everyone has told Ken to stop. They all agree it's bad. But, my wife has read Ken's crap and to quote "It wouldn't upset me, I would just think the guy is a loser". Maybe ask your own wives what would actually upset them about all of this. (1) a random fat dude calling them names; or (2) finding out their husband has done all the things Mike Rossi has done.

Please post pics of your wife, mother, mother-in-law, and sisters for Letsrun readers to judge. Then lets see how they react.

What are the odds that somebody would show up in a photo at the finish around the time that Mike Rossi should be there and he is wearing a fanny pack? http://imgur.com/vOCf0g6

If you want to tweet proof of your 5K PR, tweet the actual run not a screen shot of it. It is easy to do in the Nike+ Run app or through the Nike+ website. Tweeting the run will create a public URL of the run that you can share. Be sure to check the box to include the rout data. With this simple link, it will be easy enough to verify whether or not the run is legitimate. And if it is legitimate I will be first in line to congratulate you on a hard earned PR. But until you do so, you once again find yourself in a spot where only you get to see your "proof". There is no reason not to share this unless of course you have fudged it as everyone here suspects (myself included). Man up or shut up.

At a turkey trot? I'd say pretty good odds

A photo of an Etch-A-Sketch drawing of the route and time would have at least been humurous.
