a really interesting read in my opinion. His posts are well written and thoughtful. I really enjoy his style and think that he has a talent for not only running but also writing.
He is a pretty fast college runner attempting to run a sub 65 minute half marathon in an attempt to qualify for the Oly trials. So go ahead and give the blog a read!
new blog post up today!
Was skeptical at first, but after reading a few posts, I think it's a lot different from typical (sometimes dry) running jargon we hear about, very interesting sense of humor...
I'll be following it now.
Go promote your blog somewhere else. No one cares about an average college runner. And stop posting on your thread.
Perhaps. Except the thread creater has a legitimate email, that includes his name not coinciding your claim. You must be one of the smart posters here at letsrun! Doesn't it feel good to rip apart people you don't know. Mmmhmmm, Good stuff.
To add, I approve of the blog.
I couldn't get past the 'fact' that he felt the need to quote 'every' other word.
Clayton is a friend of mine and I am just trying to help him get the word out about his blog and help get him both some positive and negative feedback so he can know what he is doing right and what he is doing wrong.

I came to post the same thing. He has so many unnecessary quotations. Quotation marks are NOT used for emphasis.
I enjoyed his posts. Sometimes he dips a little too much into the old "how anguishing it is to be anguished runner" trope, but it's not too glaring. He's got a good sense of humor. As already noted, the quotes for emphasis are weird and annoying. I hope he keeps it up, and is more specific about recording his training as he gets over his injury and into the meat of half-marathon training.
DH represent
Actually, he got his start as a "bad boy" on Dyestat. I now see that there is light at the end of the tunnel for some of the more immature posters on "tracktalk". Clay has come a long way and I salute him for that.
I'M SURPRISED HIS POSTS AREN'T WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS.
The email is totally fake. Jeffdruns@liive.com? Ive never heard of an email website called liive.com. you just put in a fake email to make it seem like you weren't clay. Too obvious. Now gtfo.
I've known Clay my whole life. He's a good, solid runner, but not that fast. I can see him running 69, 68, 67 in a Half, but not sub-65. And even if he does make it, so what? He goes to the trials in 2012 and comes in 90th. Big deal.
Is he running for OU?
yea i believe he transfered from osu to ou.
also tinmanrunner is not DH. tinmanrunner is another poster on tracktalk
We know that, but how is Martin Smith allowing him to run a half marathon in between XC/indoors/outdoors?
I kind of like the over abundance of quotation marks :/.
According to OU's online roster has 1 year of cross and indoor elgibility (no outdoor) left. I'm assuming he runs a half not long after indoors.

WTF would it have to do with Smith.

He's running in college, right? Or no?
