No comment there.

One day you're up and the next day you're down

You can't face the world with your head to the ground

The grass is always greener on the other side, they say

So don't worry, boys, life will be sweet some day

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

We made enough mistakes

But you know we got what it takes

Oh, we ain't got nothin' yet

No, we ain't got nothin' yet

Nothin' can hold us and nothin' can keep us down

And someday our names will be spread all over town

We can get in while the getting is good

So make it on your own, yeah, you know that you could

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

We got to make the break

'Cause we got too much at stake

We made enough mistakes

But you know we got what it takes....

What, to be a Pilgrim, or an elite marathoner?

Or a total a-hole ???

Just to round out your choices...

Currently there are NO good Canadian marathoners. We need some 28 min 10k guys moving up. Not much hope with guys barely running 30 minute 10k's.

bairu will eventually move up... probably not till 2008 though. he'll be a 2:08ish type i think.

Yes that makes sense because the marathon is just a 4x 10kms workout.

Doesn't PIH stand for Pathetic Inept Homo-Sapiens?

I mean really....

Jon Brown and Steve Osaduik and Jim Finlayson and

David Jackson and Nik Southwell and Adam Campbell and

Todd Howard and Dave Milne and Eric Kiauka and Eric Findlay and Paul O'Callaghan and Scott Simpson and

Lucy Smith and Tina Connelly and Judith LeRoy and Nancy Baxendale and Cheryl Murphy and Kate Sloan and Meghan

Day and Nancy Tinari and Joan McGrath and about 500

other losers ....

Not to mention that all the top Nat.Tri.Gang choose to

run with PIH when they can, because they feel that is

where they are welcomed as runners...

So add Simon Whitfield and Kyle Jones and Colin Jenkins

and Carolyn Murray and Natasha Filiol, and a whole bunch

of other great athletes...

PIH, indeed...

Ron,

Why do you insist on name dropping all the time (Milne doesnt even run anymore, and JB is awesome but isn't Canadian). Hey by the way didnt Kajaks beat PIH at the BC xc senior mens race?

1) Milne finally had knee surgery on Friday. He may or may not run at the top level again .... time will tell.

But he is, and will be a proud PIH member and supporter.

2) JB is a long-time Canadian resident and a Canadian citizen, and may or may not race for Canada in the future.

But he is proud to train or race with PIH guys whenever it fits in... Ask him if he feels he has more support from PIH

than he's ever had from PacSport and BCA and AC.

Sorry about the names .... their parents chose them !!!

The Kajaks are great, and Bomba and Hayden and Ziak and

Johnson (sp.)and I get along well at all the races, and

talk about training and racing as we can...

However, we can all agree the little local Rec.Running Club in Victoria is indeed the Pathetic Inept Homo-sapiens.

See! Just like I said before. The p.i.h. club has hundreds of elite marathoners. I knew you would back me up Ron. Thank you eh?

Why are you calling it pathetic inept homosapiens? WTF?

PIH is nothing but a name because the people who run for PIH have loose ties at best (in most cases). and you know it.

I love PIH and what they do for vancouver island running don't get me wrong. we would be nothing on the island without them.

but ronb, dropping all these names? let's look at some race results for any other race and see who these guys are running for.

UVic, Frontrunners, Tri-Centre, Pen-Runners...

Steve's 2:16 was pretty hot this year though, can't deny that.

Did kajaks beat PIH at BCs... i guess that's without PIH's call ups, but I bet Kajaks repeat at nats too....

Okay,,time out everyone.

Normally I'm a non-confrontational guy.

I tried to get this thread banned especially with that missive directed to me earlier on this PM, but, guess the administrators have turned in early.

Anyhow. No harm no foul even if I am a donkey's poop chute..

Seems like there is a silver lining in this thread after all in that more interest will have been sparked for the U.S. readers/runners regarding this up & coming x-c Kajaks vs the PIH

Thanks for giving me the chance, Ronb to elaborate on this. Most indebted.

Take a look at these links.

I have no opinion one way or the other about WHO runs under the Prairie Inn Harrier (PIH) colours and HOW they came to BE running in this status.

That old Blues Magoos 60's tune I'm always reminded of when one or two newer members to the club first got interested in running, then in taking over the club management, then now practically run running from top to bottom of Vancouver Island...me I'm just happy enough to be the Victoria, B.C., Canada runner here on this message board.

bump.
