I believe that you are also an Olympian in another sport.
That said, we must remember that This Is LetsRun.com. People that post here are important. OP needs to know his place.
Ryan Hill, 13:05 5K PR, 7th at world champs last year, and 2nd indoors, just got cut down as an abject loser the other day.
In the new order, only defending Olympic or World Championship (outdoor) medalists qualify as elite. Anyone else is a hobby jogger, a bum, hanger on, or wanna be.
And the appropriate income level used to be $400K per year. Well that's just been upped to $1 million. Likewise, your house has to be worth a million, and not only must you have a wife that's a 10, your mistresses (note plural, and bonus point if one is overseas) must be kept in comfort and they must also be 10s.
