What I learned on Letsrun in 2010

I finally learned that I am perceived as old. I am not even 75 years old yet!

Arm warmers are for pussies and yuppies and those that are not real runners. So that means their are elites that are pussies and yuppies and not real runners.

I also learned that there are people incapable of operation any version of windows, and instead of leaning how they start calling in "winsux", claim apple is the end all to computing and use the word "dude" excessively.

that the brojos have more handles than i do.

I learned about quite a lot of pro news. Solinsky's 10000 and his 5000s, Lagat's American record, Wheating's badass 1500s, and Webb's comeback. Letsrun is truly a great resource.Oh, you meant from the boards? Well,

I LEARNED NOTHING.

That's not true. I learned a ton. Especially valuable were Canova's posts.

I learned absolutely nothing, it turned out I knew it all already. I am happy that i spread the knowledge to others.

you're welcome everyone

i learned that letsrun is a website and i like running enough to frequent its page

I learned that, for whatever bizarre reason, Liberals really DO hate America.

Sad, very sad.

That the use of performance enhancing substances is/are the reason for all/most the WR's we see today.

That these drugs were in use far earlier than I though.

That all sports are filled with them.

That we should be happy we have pro sports, otherwise we'd have a lot of potential felons out mugging, assaulting or breaking into the homes of law-abiding citizens.

That Bush 2.0 was bizarre, as is the current POTUS.

That women who misrepresent how many kids/ex-partners or husbands they have had are to be avoided, but are rather numerous in our nation today.

"It's a jungle out there" - (c) Randy Newman (line from the theme song for the TV show "MONK")

I learned how fast The Grinch could run a 5k.

And that Webb is back. But I already knew that when he moved out here to Portland.

i learned that Stanford learned nothing from last year.

I learned that obese people are lazy, disrespectful fat pigs that probably dump all the food they buy into a pig trough for consumption. I also learned that they always ride in motorized carts even though they could walk because they're lazy. I also learned that they sometimes puke up whatever they have eaten so they can eat it again! But I'm just kidding, I didn't learn any of this on LetsRun, I already knew it.

I learned that running at least one sub-5 mile day after day after day is not as easy as it sounds.

I learned that almost no one has a clue about running shoes - and I am including BOTH ends of the spectrum in that statement.

Calkins bursts into flames and justinb is a doper.

i learned that a "recommended" read, is always worth reading.

i learned that dreams come true. and if you read recommended reads, so do nightmares.

i learned that wejo is getting back into shape, and gentleman enough to take some lip from some middle-age barking types who post here to dream they might one day run as fast as he did.

i learned that there a lot of people out there who feel good about staying in good shape. And that's reassuring.

i learned that being in the same room as some of my all-time athlete-heroes, can be only a mouse-click away. a real treat.

i learned that there are as many minimalists as their critics, and that the debate will not stop any time soon.

i learned that yellow and gray lines have become the symbol of literary perseverance.

i learned there are posters who i have never met yet if we do meet and have a beer, it could be like we were old running friends.

i learned that i still have a lot of learning to do.

happy new year.

What we should give runner spouses for Christmas

Lots of stuff about running and what to do/not to do to avoid being considered destined for hobby-joggerville.

Lots of stuff about posters' financial, family, social, and other problems--and the solutions presented to these problems some of which included drinking heavily

How to make a home x-ray

What I haven't learned yet is whether Rojo ever got a horse.

I learned that 'you sir, are a moron' carries as much weight here as a well thought out observation or opinion.

if you run for a college track team in boston you are stupid to the common person for not doing the boston marathon
