and letsrun is (kinda) referred to also
when I said 'kinda' I hadnt read last page yet...actually the New York Times quotes posts from letsrun! funny
hahah yes I read this earlier- this is the best part:
"Entries on a message board at one running site, LetsRun.com, turned catching that eBay seller into a blood sport. Although Mr. Chalufour said that “at this time, we don’t know if the eBay seller was indeed the person who was reported on the Internet,” the participants on the message board seemed certain they had their man.
One wrote: “Anyways, if this isn’t an April Fools’ Joke (auction started on 3/30 though) this guy ain’t that smart.” The writer added that he found the runner in “about 20 seconds” because there are not many runners with times of 2:30 and the runner’s auction location was Columbus, Ohio. He named the suspect, and concluded, “Hey, it’s only at $20.22 right now. It’s a bargain.” (The offers soon soared to $500.)
“Good work, detective Colombo,” wrote the next person posting a message, adding that the B.A.A. would not be happy.
Others posted photos of the suspect from a running club newsletter and from his eBay profile. Others said they had notified the association.
Still others stood up for the eBay seller. “Wow, you guys are AWESOME. Glad you have nothing better to do than rat this guy out to the B.A.A.,” one defender wrote.
Others thought that whoever bought that entry would be in big trouble. “About 2 weeks after the race we will be able to type in the bib # on the Boston Photo Website and SEE who this actually is!!” one person wrote. “We can then totally trash this guy for a couple weeks!!!!! God help the guy who buys this bib!! Ha Ha Ha.”
This proves that Gina Kolada is a letsrun regular. Who do you guys think she is? Yetanotherchick? I'm not good with names, can't think of many other female posters (and she's definitely too old to be tx).
The authro needs grammar lessons:
"There are marathons that have become popular largely because their flat..."
THEIR!?!?!?!
Let's call for her resignation.
How big of an idiot are you? First off you don't even quote the article correctly, it was "There are marathons that have become popular largely because of their flat or, in the case of Steamtown Marathon in northeastern Pennsylvania, largely downhill courses allow contestants to run fast times, increasing their chances of qualifying for the Boston Marathon." There is nothing wrong with that at all, nice try though idiot.
isn't the use of 'their' correct? She is relating to other marathons.
