So, let me get this. This kid, last year, hit 9:39 twice INDOOR, on 40 miles a week. He pops on here telling us he is jumping to 85 miles a week and comes up with all this hill sprints, gym workouts, 2 tempos in a day etc etc. He goes to State and loses and runs what maybe a 9:20 outdoor. Then we got to listen to his last goofy post about just believe and all his advise on our mindsets. Lots of guys on here were excited for him and he stops updating cause...what... were behind him! Got several kids ran 64 a week and went way sub 8:55, just in last two years. Your running 85 mpw! These kids live in a diluted mindset. They actually believe we are all fools and morons and know nothing after doing this for 40 years. The enlightened generation, beyond all other generations, special, have super powers. The real world will one day hit them like a freakin meteor.

Hey guys, again my great apologies for not updating you. I figure I owe it to you guys to do so and saw you bumping this thread. This thread was 100% real and I ended up actually posting some great times. I did not win state however, I finished on the podium, which is still a huge improvement and great accomplishment. I ended up breaking 9:20 (3200) and 4:20 (1600) and ended up winning several championship meets with a few accolades, which turned a lot of heads. I think the thing that you all need to get from this thread is anything is possible as long as you set your mind to it, and you all have potential in you even if you are the only one who sees it. No matter how small and bismal your chances are, if you truly believe you can do it deep down then you absolutely can no matter what. If you scroll through page by page you can see my lack of confidence turn into commitment, dedication, and hard work. I stopped updating all of you guys because I realized that I do not need "fans" or people to support my journey. The only one I need is myself and once I truly believed that, I didn't need you guys telling me how great of shape I was in because you were telling me something I already knew. I left nothing to chance, to question, and I went out and worked hard. All of my training runs, were all true and at the end of the day I just wanted it so bad that even some of my off days were my best races. The mind rules everything, (I know this is cliche), but get your mind right and your body will follow. Nothing else matters.
I love that he refers to the people on this thread as "fans". Yeah, what we want to hear is a high school kid telling us to follow our dreams because he finally decided to run miles for a couple months...
