Do runners handle pain better than the average human?

your ability to continue running is good, but that does not mean you are handeling the pain better...handeling the pain better is within...a lot of people seem like nothing is wrong when they are bleeding inside. i feel for ya bro...country music written all over it.

Maybe the pain is helping me handle my running better, because my runnng sure felt better than usual. But I do know what you mean, and time will help with the handling of the inside stuff. Thanks!

oh yeh...just wanted to add...after losing girlfriends...ive cranked some of the most phenominal times out.

yeah, I feel a renewed drive deep within to push the envelope, intelligently of course!

Fleetfoot fizzle my nizzle? What did I tell you about messing with these ho's and tricks. Repizzle after my nizzle:

"I'm too swift on my toes to git caught up with these ho's."

Fleetfoot,

That has got to be the pussiest post I have ever read. I don't blame your wife for going to someone else. As for your dog: I guarantee that it died because it wasn't healthy enough due to the way you were taking care of it.

Take a look in the mirror and correct yourself before wasting our time with YOUR problems loser.

This is the meanest and most vicious bunch of people I've ever heard. I think he was just feeling down at the time and he gets back crude remarks for the most part. It's not as if most of the lame topics discussed on this message board have anything to do with running.

Easy come--easy go for fleetfoot. I am sure he is more upset with his dog dying than his wife's confession. A good dog is hard to replace.

Hi,

Man that sucks, hope things get better for you.

As for people on this board most of you are dicks and I can not belive you would even bother to anwser if you were going to be so mean.

To anwser your question. Yes I think the best runners are the ones who can handle the most pain. KK is so good in the Marathon because he can hold on that finale 5k while others are hurting and falling back.

Peace,

Thomas

Bump,

because there's some funny shit on this thread.

I think fleetfoot brings up a good point. It is like runners are in their own world and what normally would crush somebody, such as your dog of 10 years dying, hardly gets notice.

fleetfoot probably didn't even notice that the dog had been sick!

When one bitch goes, they all go.

catman, aren't you banned?

Mr. Chest doesn't mess with married women. He doesn't have to. Ha ha hahahaha.

I imagine God or an angel spoke to wejo in a dream and told him he had banned a holy man. See, I have the fear of God in me and so that fear also visit my enemies whom God defends and protects me from. God could have easily smote wejo and that would have been the end of this message board. Think about it.

Catman,

Of course I noticed that my dog had been sick, but the cancer finally did the old boy in. My relationship had been sick too and the cancer of that finally did it in, I watched one wife drive away in the back of a Hurst a little over a year ago, This one drove away in her Jeep today.

One of the things that helped me keep my way was running over 15 races during the six months of her illness before she passed. So thats why I posted this thread because if your a serious trainer and racer, I do think you can bear what pains life throws at you better than the average joe.

As for all you who posted that think I'm a pussy, I was a professional kickboxer before I was a runner I'm far from a pussy I'm all man. I'LL GLADLY HOOK UP WITH ANY OF YOU FOR A ROUND OF FISTY CUFFS. Warrioirs aren't pussyies!!!!!!!

Yeah. But most of them can spell halfway decent.

Warrioirs..pussyies..

Tsk.

I got the drift of your thread right away fleefoot--the others did not. And I think I am right--not just about you--that runners are in their own little world. I know it made me that way--so I am not that way any more--out of choice. So, now I get into trouble more easily--so now I have decided to basically take on the runner's attitude about other people and mix it with the way I am now. Otherwise I was just have the constant nagging urge to go out and kill people who bother me. So, now I am copping better than I had been before--more like a runner but not completely oblivious to reality as I was before when I was a runner.
