#1- I like to run full speed -- that's how I run;
#2- The course kept going up when I was going down and down when I was going up;
#3- The road kept turning and I wanted to run straight;
#4- I'd rather stop than let everyone see me get beat, again;
#5- I was injured;
#6- It was time for my nap;
#7- It was time for my tea and crumpets;
#8- The other runners wouldn't wait for me;
#9- They don't allow altitude tents in the Village;
#10- I was ready to kick but the finish was too far away;
jason Rexing stole my trainers
Wow, not one of those was funny.
dunes runner, you suck.
Too bad none of those resembled "comedy" at all. Surely you can do better.

on first read, i actually thought the list was quite funny. but i've been converted - on second look, they're actually really quite lame. thanks for helping me see the light.
Yes, they are lame.
That's why they are funny.
Top reason for Dunes Runner not to start a marathon.
1, the girls keep beating me.
Top ten reasons why I quit the marathon
10) Annoyed at dunes runner for stupid posts on letsrun.com
9) Hate dunes runner
8) Despise dunes runner
7) Threw up thinking about dunes runner's inane comments
6) Puked again when I saw dunes runeer's attempt at humor
5) Pulled a muscle trying to kick dunes runner
4) Remembered why I hate dunes runner and in a dreamlike state ran into the press truck
3) Got so annoyed thinking about dunes runner's idiotic mind that I forgot to take my drink bottles and got dehydrated.
2) Realized that even sitting crying at the side of the road, I am still a zillion times better person than dunes runner.
and the #1 reason
Saw dunes runner at the side of the road and stopped to kick his ass.
Number one reason to feel better after having dropped out:
Remembered that although I didn't get it done in Athens, at least I didn't resort to drugs (like Yegorova) to give myself an edge

#6- It was time for my nap;
that's the only decent one, since she does take a considerably long nap every day, 2 hours long in fact. Not saying that it's right to make fun of someone for that.
Reason #1
1)- You're a female marathoner who owns a world record that, incidentally, would qualify you for the MEN"s olympic trials. You run your race, you have a bad day on a brutal course in 100 degree heat.
Maybe it's the subject, because none of these are funny at all.
I suggest to everyone that you cease and desist here. It is a losing battle.
1) The Penguin said there'd be donuts! Lying bastard!
Now that was the best one so far, and even that's not funny.
Actually, that was my point FW. Radcliffe is an amazing marathoner. If she drops out of a race, even the Olympics, I'm more than willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. She's earned that much and doesn't deserve to be bashed.
All that said, I admit that yours is the best one so far.
Macker,
I just happened to hit the "Reply" link on your message. I wasn't singling you out at all.
I agree that Paula doesn't deserve to be bashed.
You are correct though that mine is the best one so far. :)
Those were pretty bad.
I am not very funny either, but here are my top 10 reasons that Paula dropped our of Olympic marathon:
10. Learned of Robert Johnson's petition urging her to drop out so as to give more deserving Japanese and Kenyan runners a chance.
9. Did not want to "show up" Philippides by continuing and then dropping dead herself.
8. Mmmmmm....do I smell Gyros?
7. Believed that breaking down and crying would give her better chance of appearing on Oprah again.
6. Wanted Noguchi to win so that Japan would know that Great Britain isn't holding a grudge about that whole World War II thing.
5. What??? What do you mean this isn't the practice run?
4. Began to reflect on the question: who would win a race over 4.25 kilometers, Ritz or Webb? Eventually, the question drove her insane and she broke down.
3. Could not stand the thought of entering the stadium to the sight of thousands of smiling Britains.
2. Tired from the course and the heat, quickly came up with plan to claim that she had a stress fracture due to being secretly coached by Mark Wetmore.
1. Knew that dropping out would generate more posts on letsrun.com.
Shouldn't you be out walking Regina's dog or something?
those were awful. considerably worse than the 10 dunes runner put up.
