RE: Brandon Leslie

You bring up great and valid points and those are points that only brandon can come to terms with... I only hope that he can muster up another come back, like he has in the past(dude must be a cat with nine lives, as many times as he has been written off and been back even stronger and faster),get his shtuff straight and get to the trials and lay it on the line...He still has to get his "A" qualifier at 10K, last years time don't count towards the trials, I am not his coach nor would I claim to be one at any level, but maybe now is not the time to be racing and should be the time to be working and basing up(rebuilding)and save whatever travel budget he has, since he has basically 8 months til the Marathon trials(that he has a qualifier for)... get that 10k time after recovering then building towards the Track trials....like I said I would never claim to be a coach at any level,these are decisions only Brandon and Coach Vigil can make. I wish him the best in running and in health...

Brandon Leslie is such a nice guy. I wish him and his family the best, too.

He is just like any other runner..

Yeah if he is buying!!

Is this the same New Mexico Brandon Leslie? What is up with him?

Your either a gay guy or some girl he tried to hit on.

hey what happened to the other thread about Brandon. I finally got my thoughts together.

The obvious answer to all Brandon's problems would be to hook him up with a true native american legend, someone with a unique perspective on just about everything....... I am speaking of course about the 430miler. Perhaps he could get him in touch with his pal Paul Tergat (the goat).

It is about time the American runners, and that included Native Amerian, American Indian, or whatever you call yourself lately, just shut up about what you don't get, most of all distance runners. Until you start to belly up and get time that are marketable on the world level none of you should be getting shit. The women post more ranked runners per 100 than the men and they are the silent group.

What? 4:30 miler is a Indian? Maybe that starts to make some sense about his posts and makes sense that he actually could be a blood brother to Brandon. Although on different ends of the racing world they have the same approach to things.

guess someone is figuring out that old ndnrunna has issues, and AGENDA,and maybe needs to go back to the shrink when he was MADDOG. maybe more productive than trying to to get the 3rd job. Really look at the thread, how many times does he(yup!) respond and talk to himself??

...You say.....he seems to still be driven by this demon at times has kept running and at times his future looks bright. However, until he makes peace with this issue we may never ever get to see the full potential of what true runner lives inside of this guy.

I say, clean up your side of the sreet and take care of your own demons. You are you to judge??Can U come back ? Can you run a 28:10.59? I say Not. Look in the morror, spend more time at giving back & making a real good diffence in the world than is spent typing away with your stupid wisdom on LETSRUN. No I should not judge, right???U R doing that I am sure.

Brandon's only demon are people who have thought they were important because of him. His future is to be viewed by those of you who sit on the couch. His peace is his and not yours. ANd what is inside of him??? Unfortunately he still reads this crap and is one of his mistakes.

gee, wouldn't you do better to go take up space on the internet my going to "My Space" if you are looking for friends or validation. or....whatever? Either talk to Brandon *cuz we all know YOU have all of his numbers*how immature.... or move on to another victim thread... or run more...

CHANGE THE THREAD TITLE TO "MD NEEDS A LIFE" or drop it

He had one good year of running and yes runs a 28:10 so what. How many Africans do faster than that every year and don't have that much as support for their running either. At least for the most part those that I know DO send money back to their familes and that is in fact where the majority of the money goes, no bullshit, no being a crybaby. They are off the couch as you say and doing what they do without question and excuses.

Validation??? Your so busy trying to villify me as someone that you very wrongly have me mistaken for, probably for your own validation with two athletes,you are desperately trying to make a good impression on,especially since you embarrassed the hell out of one already(ps. it should be the Brandon and Alvina show, they are the athletes, it is not your stage...) Has it ever occurred to you that you could have possibly made more than one enemy other than MADDOG...??? And if you have not found this out by now, you will find it out sooner than later that it is a very small world (Especially among Native Americans) Like it is probably beyond your comprehension that you could send an E mail to a certain Lawyer in D.C. asking for help,and then Slamming an individual(MADDOGG) basically undermining said individual and that Lawyer just happens to be a close personal friend of the individual your slamming, then also not knowing that the Lawyer and I just happened to be teammates at Oklahoma State and also very good friends, which should go without saying that MADDOG and I are also good friends, MADDOGG also happens to be one of my first coaches (Haskell 1983-85) that got me off to a good start in running and later helped me out in Albuquerque early to mid 90's, so basically you are/were burning bridges that are/were not even built yet.....your so busy trying to make MADDOGG look bad in the eyes of others to promote yourself, you can't even see your undermining your own credibility, especially to the ones your trying the most to impress, a couple of athletes that should be concentrating on training and competing to the best of their abilities and not being your show and tell items at the next New Age Gathering in Flagstaff.....

I beg your pardon. Here is something that you may underestimate about us on letsrun. Although we may not weight in on the topic we do read the threads. Here is my observation. On page one there is a reply from a person "just a thought" followed a few minutes later by a person "getoverit." Then as your are stating somebody is talkig to themselves on here this initial post was first put up by a person named "just a thought" and then follwed by two post from a person "getoverit" at least until today when somehow you changed the name to getoverit. It is people like you that takes away for this site with your silly games. You make a statement to AdamsStater about having nothing else to do but to be on a computer maybe you need to swallow your own pill and stay off this site.

I gave you a heads up earlier about marketing in Indian country, now if you would have done a lil homework, you would know that a short drive south to PHX and you could be parading your "Navajo Elite" amongst some of the most influential people in Indian Country at the National Indian Gaming Association national conference.... but then again you might run into another friend of mine who you have left a negative impression on Mo Smith (Executive Director, Native American Sports Council) My connection to Mo, so You don't think I am MADDOGG again, is we trained together in ABQ and Qualified for the Olympic Trials, both of us in the 1500, and the 5000 as well for myself....we of course have remained good friends.....I do have to give you some props for being able to eliminate threads and for being able to hide threads like this one is being hid, I am glad to know that someone else was able to see your lil bait and switch ploy go south, kinda ironic you trying to out someone for posting undermultiple names, then being so stupid to post under a name, get second thoughts about it and then go back and edit to another name to try and cover up.... If your going to be trying James Bond 007 shtuff at least be a lil more clever at it .........For a lil historical perspective on your whole situation, you should reference John Eagle Day, another savior who got exposed and wasn't who he said he was literally and figuratively and was never heard from again....you may learn a lil history lesson.... and you know what they say about history, it repeats itself... don't be a repeat.....

Interview with Greg Crowther; AS A NEW FATHER, HOW DO YOU BALANCE THE DEMANDS OF YOUR TRAINING WITH TEH DEMANDS OF YOUR FAMILY? WHEN DO YOU ET YOUR WORKOUTS IN? "I log a lot of my miles running to and from work!"

not to beat a dead horse or anything, but just wanted to ask, when you said you believed that a guy like Brandon walks with the talent, was this also kinduva New Age Bastardization of the Navajo saying "Walk in the path of Beauty??" The way I see it(and I could be wrong) but nobody is questioning that Brandon, so to say, walks with talent, what we are really wanting and hopeing for is for Brandon to RUN WITH THE TALENT!!!! Last I heard Brandon was a RUNNER and not a WALKER, walking at this point will do him no good, unless he is finishing up Intervals or a hard workout and is walking off such a workout. just food for thought....
