I'm thinking TODAY could be it for me. 13 years ago Geb got his first WR. He has aimed for his latest WR several times over several years. And today, he nailed it. I don't know if it can get any better / higher for The Greatest.

I think we should differentiate between the most important day and the coolest thing we've ever seen. The most important day is a PR or a win for most of us, but the coolest thing is far different. I'd say the most important thing in my running life was winning my first road race in May 2006, but the coolest and most exciting thing I ever saw was probably El G outkicking Bekele at Athens in 2004. I've seen cooler races on Youtube and Flotrack, but I saw that one on TV as it was happening.
May 29, 2006
Sorry it's past midnight, Im tired...what happend on may 29, 2006?
I'd say El G winning gold in the 1500. The 5k was cool, but I started crying after I saw him win. I first saw El G race in the 2000 Olympics. I was a sophomore in high school. Throughout the next 4 years, he became a huge inspiration to me. To see him win that race was truly amazing.
After that, I would say Webb's 3:53. That was also a huge inspiration for me as well.
