I'm back from Kenya What did I Miss on Letsrun.com?

You missed a nice thread which claimed K. Bekele is a pussy. The Stanford meet was a little flat for times. Mostly the usual stuff with a little drama and heat thrown in. Welcome back.

Henry ran a 5:32 mile at altitude (twice) then ran 17:48 at Carlsbad.

I didn't even realize there was a Stanford meet. All I knew was Richard Kiplagat won the Cooper River Run. Of course Robert didn't even know that.

I don't think Bekele knows what to do when he loses.

Haha...did you break your laptop before or after you spilled coke on it? Some running topics these past few days were the Stanford Invitational, Flocasts appreciation, Henry Rono running Carlsbad, a "race director" (more like clever troll) not wanting to give women prize money, why there are different cross country race distances for males and females, etc. But the most popular and informative topics were 2nd date sluttiness, what to do on a first date, girls saying stupid things to guys, guys saying stupid things to girls, and of course wisdom from the430miler.

You are still faster than Ryan Hall.

Wow. I'm kind of surprised with those results. Goucher 28:43? Was he just doing tempo or pacing Rupp?

I kicked a coke on it at my girlfriends right before I left. The first place I realized it wasn't working was Kenya. So perhaps broken is not the best word as I'm hoping it is getting fixed as I type. But it didn't work at all in Kenya.

There's a Goucher interview on http://www.flocasts.com/flotrack/stanford2007.php

A little backwords. Rupp was pacing Gouch, and it was more like a tempo run.

Goucher looked pretty rough, didn't he have a respiratory illness after USA Cross (rumor)? At one point, Salazar was telling Rupp to go back and help Goucher and he didn't seem too psyched about it. Rupp looked like he was cruising and had a lot left.

Chalk it up to an early season meet that fizzled out a little more than expected.

beat me to it :-D ...i like where your head is at though.

Boy do you have some reading to do. Find the "Rupp's most impressive run yet" to get the jist of it, first couple pages is all you need then it turns into a pissing fest for 7 or 8 pages.

The losers from NZRUN are still illegaly copying you. Carl Jackson and Rees Buck from Wellington of all places. (Dumpville in NZ)

Cute and stupid at the same time, I guess for most.

Wejo,

Can't wait to see the pictures..

In response to your comment.. i don't think bekele knows what to do when he looses...

I listened to an interview on radio fana.. and according to the journalists that were there with him... he began to be more dissoriented after he dropped out... at some point he started the race was over... and he made a statement that he was glad it was over and that he defended his title.. then they told him zeresenay won.. and kenny b said.. wait i passed him... i remember passing him.

Pretty interesting take on what happened.

If you ever think about training a dog to run with you, you might want to check out the430miler's words of wisdom. Lots of gems in there.

The trip was amazing and it will take me a few days to get up my recap of everything post World XCs (i might have most of it done by now but I broke my laptop so I couldn't write anything while there). But I probably have 1000 pictures.

But the real question is what did I miss in the world of running? How did Rojo do updating the website? It seems like it is better than when he usually does it. I'll have to check the archives for the days I missed.

And its refreshing to see important stuff is still being discussed on here. I got updated on whether if a girl sleeps with you on her 2nd date is she a slut.

On an unrelated note, the lady you pushed while queuing at Moi international airport, Mombasa, is my aunt.

How is NZRUN illegally copying Letsrun?

Say it ain't so Wejo!
