I find it reprehensible how radical liberals like Feinstein could release the totally partisan hit job "torture" report and risk American lives. Totally partisan. No one objected after 9/11. Not ONE intelligence officer was contacted. Liberals care only about themselves and their party. Not the country.

Liberals are the face of evil. As such it is our duty to stop them at every turn.
The midterm elections were a step in the right direction. America is waking up to the evil that is liberalism and we are putting an end to the evil liberal plan of a Totalitarian State.

I'm betting Kenny could have saved himself a lot of time if, instead of enlisting in the Marines when he quit running, he told his dad to f*ck off. Based on some of his dad's quotes, I bet he was responsible for a lot of Kenny's pent-up rage.

Brilliant! A true letsrunner.
When you have McDonnell telling you to back off, you know something is seriously amiss. Overtraining and compulsion were the primary themes of the story and yet the piece was written to glorify all of it. Cormier went from one meat grinder to another.
Kenny Cormier is the type of person who would be successful at anything. That bugs some people.
This was a great article or interview, especially by Letsrun standards, but one thing stood out for me.
The article says early on that he is 29 now. If that is correct, then he would have been 19 when he won FL. Typically, a senior would be 17 the week of FL. Even a student that is a little "old" for their grade (like people like Ritz and myself who have a 12/30 birthday) would still be 17.
I was amazed when Cormier won FL, as he had never won anything outside of AZ and his junior year PR was 16:10 or whatever. It seemed like a strange fluke because even back then there were 8:50-55 junior performers who did not win. Cabada was one of them.
If he really was 19 before the Dec. 2004 race that makes his "out-of-nowhere" win less amazing.
However, this is Letsrun, so it would not surprise me if his age was just approximate.

Despite the fact you took a ridiculous pot shot with your last sentence, you make a good point.
It was fairly well known at the time that Cormier was old for his grade. His birthday is 29 October 85 so he was 19 at the time.
I had a July birthday and was 18 at the start of my senior year. A decent number of seniors turn 18 in the fall but to turn 19 means he was the equivalent of a freshman in college.

I'd probably be bothered by it 10 years later as well. But regardless, to me, the most surprising thing in that article was that it took so long for them to get tested for mono. Seriously, HIV and cancer tests before a mono test? Along with anemia, mono is probably the most obvious diagnosis.
Anybody who has ever had mono knows the symptoms are obvious. I had it three times, the first time, I lost weight (17 lbs), very sore throat, and you feel like garbage. The symptoms are unmistakeable. The other two times I had the same, but the sore throat was not as bad.
In other words, I am surprised that the nurse missed this. Especially since they were roommates. One of them gave it to the other one. I have seen this in college a few times. One kid had mono over the summer, and is recovered but gives it to his suitemates. (not through kissing, but just through germs in the bathrooms or something).
Another thing, Cormier was really stupid to push himself like that. Had he let himself recover, which he should have been counseled to not exercise at all for at least 6 weeks, he would have been fine.
It's his business whether he wanted to keep on running, and NOT MINE, but he made a big mistake trying to "run through" mono.

Ken - if you're reading this filth, don't pay attention to these libtards. They should be thanking you for protecting their freedom. Thanks Kenny!! Now get out there and kill some Afghanis!!!! HUAH!!

I don't think it was a "ridiculous" potshot. LR is not known for its editorial accuracy. One of you has even said so and said that you can't edit like a proper news source because you could not get content out to us quick enough.
You also are not careful with grammar or spelling or punctuation, I thought you were aware of this and accepted this as fact? Maybe not? But if you have not, I am happy to let you know that you are NOT CAREFUL with those things, and I thought you may have just added 10 yrs to what you thought his age was at the time (hence why I said "it would not surprise me if his age was just approximate"). It was not a potshot, it was just the reality of how you have done things since day 1.
The cutoff for MI is a 12/01 birthday. So if you are turning 6 before 12/01 DURING your kindergarten year you are older than the guidelines. So, for MI, Cormier would have been 13 mo and 2 days older than his competition.

Oh, the irony!
Why?
Think about it. Why do remove truthful messages, about Cormier or any other topic on Letsrun? Aren't you interested in the truth? Rarely have I seen so many truthful messages removed as here on Letsrun. When people who know about personal incidents post them on here, why not just leave them so we can all know the truth? I don't get why you remember so many honest and truthful messages, and it makes me think something is wrong with you. Can you please offer a reasonable explanation, and leave honest messages on the board from now on?

That's another question, why remove the great majority of well thought out messages, and leave such terrible things that people like this guy have posted?
Letsrun, can you please comment on this?
