p.s. your girlfriend is HOT!

p.s.s I cant wait for Jake, Wagz, AP/TP, Buck and everyone else to come down.

god damnit i'd rather talk about f***ing clarion (who doesn't have a team) for 100 pages then hear the SRU guys have their own chat page and bullshit for days.

Geddis is a Good Kid! Crazy Partier and All , but cares alot about running! So if he wants to come on here and talk, about his team (if it's really Him) Then Let him, It's no damn Different then Retards coming on here and talking about Football or what should i wear on my date tonight? WTF is that about! Atleast he talks about running Wheterit's B.S or Not!

Fly High My Boy!

shizzy shizzy shizzy! its all fun and games man. come on. you need to chill out. they dont mean any harm by it. anyways, i hope you are training well man because we all know you can run well this year in xc after your recent monster year. peace out.

...just to clear up the issue before I head to bed.

I've become friends with the better half of the distance runners in the PSAC. Nearly every outstanding runner in the PSAC is a class act (Weiss, Robo, Jorge, etc). Bluman and Pat are also very modest individuals when it comes to running and success.

Someone posted about Chris Geddis and what was said really isn't the case. He's a very hard working runner. He's also a very outgoing person. On top of that, his 5K pr is very respectable (14:47). He unfortunately has not been able to put together a solid performance at any championship meet yet. I know Chris has made a few comments to runners on other PSAC teams about his predictions of great success here at the Rock in the near future. By no means does he mean to put down other runners or schools, it's just merely his way of being excited about something. I've lived with chris for 3 years, and this past year our rooms were 2 feet apart so we've become great friends over the years. I feel qualified to speak on his behalf and say that he does not mean to put down other runners or teams. However, looking back on some of the things he has commented about, I can understand how others would easily and quickly become upset. I also want to prevent people from thinking that everyone on the SRU team makes the same comments becuase that is not the case.

I never heard Robson, Blood or Joe Wiggy brag about Lock Havens' success while it was happening, so why would someone brag about success that hasn't even happened yet????? That is what people are getting upset about. I'm just clarifying that by no means does Geddis mean to upset anyone, he's just excited.

My time at the Rock is done. I'm officially a spectator. As a final note, I feel I should mention that during my time in college, most of the SRU front runners spent the majority of their time speaking about the success of the Boro, Lock, and Ship teams. The atmosphere is more about admiration of other schools, not about what SRU could possibly do in the future. Atleast thats the way it was when I was there.

I wish my friends at SRU a very successful season. Undeniably the pieces of the puzzle are present, they just need to put it together. I would also like to wish the rest of the PSAC runners a great season.

As hoovis said, thats just the way some runners are. Laughlin was very forward with his success. I think that with all of the hard work that he has put in, Chris will ultimately race well when it matters. :) Will it be enough to help the Rock get past two very quality teams in Edinboro and Lock Haven? Well, who knows. Afterall, thats why they race...right?

So, not running with the Syracuse Chargers anymore? Wasn't it just a couple of years ago that you were there master's runner of the year?

I'm willing to bet that you're not racing still means your running sub 33 minutes for 10K. From everything I've heard about you -- you're hard core and there's no way you've just walked away from it.

Not trying to pry into your personal life -- I'm just betting you could still school a large # of us on this thread.

In the words of Bill Parcells:

"You are what your recored says you are".

and since I do not race any longer I cannot claim to be able to "school" any person.

I would rather just watch and cheer on those in the game instead of playing "when I was a kid, grrr.....".

I have been working and living in Boston for much of the last 3 years and I have not been affiliated with the Chargers for 4 years or so. I am part of the Whirlaway guys when I do race, but mainly I play poker with them.

I bike quite a bit, good weeks up to 200-250 miles per week, I train with my GF who is a triathlete. (she will break 5 hrs in a 1/2 IM for reference)

and a couple times a week I run from the actual 17 mile mark of the Boston Marathon Course to the 22 mile mark(the Newton/Heartbreak Hill section), turn around and comeback in under 65 minutes most days. Running feels good to me and when I am in one peice it comes to me quite naturally, so I imagine I am in 16ish 5k shape or so, a lot slower than my master track PR of 15:05 but not bad for a guy who is staring down the 50 year old side of my fourties.

And to answer the question about just walking away: I was only hardcore with regard to training correctly for race performance. I do not view myself as addicted to "the life", I have always enjoyed feeling fit, and it coincided quite nicely with my appetite for racing. I am very satisfied that I did all I could do to "find out" what kind of racer was within, and I sleep very well at night feeling content that I have nothing further to "chase" as an open or master racer.

Thanks for remembering though.

Think Big, Train Big, Race Big.....

Everytime i get on i see gayness from a few. Posts like this are corny and gay, no one cares.

Uh, yeah, thanks dude. You follow up a great post from Platt -- one of the best to come through the PSAC with that? Come on..at least be a bit more imaginative, eh? Hoovis

Let me correct "You are gay"'s message, what he meant to say was:

"every time I get on a forum I try to show how gay i am by saying something stupid to try to get a rise out of people. I truly like boys"

I thought that translation would help

This is a site for gay dorks, that are good at running and nothing else, to blow each other. Get a life. Even the good ones from the past come back to get sucked off once in a while. I've never seen a basketball or football message board. My guess is because unlike you dorks, they can get girls, and thus do not have the time.

So true, we should all be shamed of ourselves. He brings to light a very little known fact.

In 2005 a study was done and in fact this thread attracts more people to solicit homosexual encounters than do roadside rests along I-80.

since you are also on this site, does that mean that you are gay and cant get girls like the stud football players? did you want to solicit a BJ as well?

BigBear-see you in a few weeks at the alumni race. hasta la vista baby.

Is the Debbie Green 5k a big race?

I saw Hoovis, a west chester, and some slippery rock runners in the results

Good to see the new thread up fellas! I love getting on here and reading all of this shit haha Keep it up and I hope everyone is doing well! I miss COLLEGE!

maybe the football and basketball players dont have the commitment to their sport as we do. think about how many of them train all year round intensely and think about nothing else. we plan our lives around our sport. they just do it when the season comes or train around the rest of their lives.

¡Viva correr!

i put that in there so jorge could understand what i was saying

muchas gracias Blu!

let's get a team by team schedule up here

Don't look to far down at other sports.

I have participated in other "seasonal" sports, and I can tell you that there are some hard-ass dedicated people in all sports.

Cliche' but true: Think big and just be all you can be; compete well, and don't worry about what others "are" or "are not" in order to increase your "value" as an athlete.

hey neyhart...go find the schedule's yourself. you wanna be a dick in one post then talk to people in another. do you realize that the other psac runners think your a pussy? hansloven even said you are. go away.
