LetsRun.com Summer Camp!

This is the mile PR thread all over again.

How can Smitten and Masterbooner and whoever they are turn an awesome thread into a crappy one that fast?

The thread was awesome for a few days, then it pretty much stalled. Nobody ruined a thriving thread.

Why are you so obsessed with your "glory days" 20 years ago in college? Move on!

Just hysterical! Do you mean move on the way your 'husband' has? He's not living in the past or anything is he? Not clinging to that one mile* of his or anything is he?

Yes, I'm still clinging to my 4:33. My one brief moment of glory! It's all I can think about. If I close my eyes and concentrate hard enough it's as if I'm reliving the moment. The warm, humid night air. The sensation of the track flying by beneath my feet. The roar of the crowd as they cheer my 10th place finish. It was epic! In fact, I think I'll give an inspirational talk at Letsrun Camp. It will be a truly moving experience for the campers.

Your prose is very vigorous after that weekend retreat. Must've been a real restorative.

Here's the other post that was deleted...the one where you spoke of blowing me away. Can't imagine why you thought twice about that one...

[quote] Ditto on the no concealed weapons. Though, from what I've found via Google, the last race you participated in was an un-timed 5K walk. I think I can take you, and I'm certain the boys will blow you away.[quote]

Sorry, that's what I get for multi-tasking. I was joyously cooking while not so joyously posting.

This Mrs. M. stalker guy doesn't seem to want to reveal himself. What's your take on the situation nsmb?

nsmb prefers the high road of humouring the crazy lady. I, however, have taken the ill-advised route of poking the pig.

We should have a prom on the last day of camp. I hear the430miler has been brushing up on his moves.

Oh, I've also humored my share of pigs, ma'am, and as a lineup of my exes would make plain, poked my share of crazy ladies.

Pretty much anything with ladies is more fun than with pigs. Well, except for difficult breakups.

Maybe we can have a "catch the greased lady" competition at camp?

Marty would know something about difficult breakups. He's been ruminating over one of them for over 20 years. Given the way I've been stalked here on LR and via the phone lines, I'm wondering if he'll ever get over being dumped. Carrying around that kind of hate all your life will do a number on the psyche.

20+ YEARS!! Get over it Marty! You hate me. I get it. I'm sorry it was a difficult break-up. I did the best I could. I wasn't attracted to you, you were a neurotic basketcase, completely unreliable, and my father couldn't stand you. I'm sorry every moment of your life is still stuck in your head. For God's sake get over it and learn to love people again.

wow, that must be the craziest post I've ever read on letsrun.awesome job, crazy lady!

Yes, sometimes the truth is hard to swallow.

Hopefully this bunch of loonies will get some help and move on. Maybe someone up at the Port Jervis Institute can straighten them out.

I can't wait for this, I'm gonna be there for sure!

Just to be clear, I was referring to your post.

You are the loonie.

The Brojos kind of suck at business. The request for T-shirts has been going on for years. Look at the site design (they finally decided to do something about that though). There are a lot of things the Brojos could be doing, but they aren't.

I still love letsrun though.

Yeah, the Brojos are like Bill Gates and Paul Allen (technical/idea guys), but they don't have a Steve Ballmer (business guy).

in the interest of re-hijacking this thread...

Have the meet or race in a place that lacks quality competition, or during a period in which it is not occurring. Right after Nationals, for example, so all the 'almost made it but not quite' guys could attend. Put it in or near a major city so transport to the area would be easy.

Check around for sponsors or donors. I don't know about how expensive it is to rent a track or close off a road and get timing equipment and officials but I feel like if attended / the field filled, it would turn a profit.

And the brojos name would be enshrined in legend. The name of letsrun would be pasted across many a website and it would drive mad ad revenue! Maybe even hold a special 1500 for eddylee.

There certainly could be some sort of gathering - summer camp or not! leading up to, or following, this grand endeavor.

The mystery to me is why Masterblower keeps coming back for more?? I guess she couldn't resist the porn thread. Her hubby was texting me last week, whining and crying because he didn't like my blunt, honest, Frankish approach to dealing with him (kindness and compassion didn't really work out). Is his Sex Clown shutting him off the way she threatened to? Ah, the irony...

That polygraph offer still stands. I would be happy to fund it and submit the questions. I can rustle up a list of licensed professional polyographers in that corner of the country in a jiffy. Any takers?

Smitten: I can rustle up a list of licensed professional polyographers in that corner of the country in a jiffy. Any takers?

Nah, I'm more of a one woman guy, none of that polyamory stuff for me.
