I don't even get what crying jordan is. I just thought it kind of means she's mainstream. Trust me, I'm not getting texts when random 2:14 guy pulls out.
Can someone explain what it really means?
It means you're desperate for traffic to your website. Traffic means you get more COINS for the advertisements that display on the side of every web page on LetsRun.
You a Playa!
I feel for Jordan, she loves racing. I bet nobody feels worse than her. I guy some of you never heard of the non aggression principle?
It's also not unreasonable to think that Jordan was determined to race, and so may have been less than forthcoming about the state of her foot. So her team was essentially protecting her from herself.

Bone scans 'light up' at a stress reaction....
MR scans do not light up.
She is a little hurt, the weather is going to be a major factor and she's going to go somewhere and run fast real soon.
She is not disrespecting the race, she has represented herself well; starting the race and getting a portion of your appearance fee would have been disrespectful (and the first 7 miles of the course are a rough roller coaster).
She did the right thing.
Live to fight another day.
Excuse me. They are brighter/ more light on T2 images. Bone scans are actually black / darker at stress reactions.
No way she had an MRI in Boston. My guess is she went and it got bad up in Boston. Add the weather and they decided to wait to race. She was likely paid a good amount to show up and do interviews along with SWORD and other sponsors. Sure she is angry not to be 100% but losing to the 3 other Americans would be worse.
Honestly, she doesn’t look as skeletal as she previously appeared. Guessing she isn’t as fit and has missed training.
She kept thanking her "team" but I think they let her down. The MRI should have been done weeks ago, not now.

I get what you are saying... Suspicious; however I just had an MRI at 9pm in Phoenix and that is a regular scheduled time slot six days a week.
They're bowling in a different league. For example a NY Mets catcher recently was hit by a pitch in his hand and had it x-rayed at the stadium during the game and followed it up with an MRI the next day.
Are you guys serious?? The crying Jordan meme just means she went home DEVASTATED

Please stop posting on LetsRun. Your comment makes perfect sense and therefore is inappropriate for the site. Honestly, the level of utter stupidity on this thread, the complete failure to understand anything about human psychology, the need to excoriate and demonize a young woman ("she's a liar"; "she couldn't have had an MRI"; "she is in it for the money"; "she's really not in shape" [despite a posted workout that many said was too good to be true]; "the weather won't allow for a fast time" [as if winning Boston isn't good enough]; "she's a doper" [despite the fact that Huddle crushed her recently, and indeed has never come close to losing to her] because she pulls out of a race (as if outsiders could know all the factors behind it) all of this is breathtakingly imbecilic.
There are so many clueless and misinformed folks on this website lead by the weldon brothers who should be in jail for defamation of character. How can they sleep at night? Rojos? Have an answer?
I've refrained from chiming in thus far...but thanks Monty, at least one person gets it. SMFH at all these yahoos here...even the troll efforts are pretty piss poor.

It's the lack of transparency is what is in question. She has now pulled out of three races the night before with either an injury that somehow became serious the night before a race or she was too good to race (Club Cross). Bend Club Cross 2013 particularly comes to mind - people travelled from all over to watch them race and they pulled out the night before on that as well. Her social media feed reads like --- post picture . They're only human when they choose to be.

*post pictures here insert cheesy quotes there
I knew a name runner would be OUT. Didn't know which. If you aren't ready mentally for a bad weather run, probably the best thing to do.
They have been accurately predicting this forecast for two weeks now. Had to be tough sleeping with this on your mind...

Let me add one final thought to this discussion, and it seems simple enough. Boston has some of very best (tertiary) hospitals in the world. This means they have some of the very best imaging specialists (radiologists, with the best sub-specialized training) in the world (with the most exacting protocols), and some of the best equipment in the world. Now apply this to the case at hand.
The “boys” just took all the defaming pictures and posts condeming their unprofessional journalism off the boards. How ball less these idiots are.

I don't blame Jordan, but who in the heck has been advising her. She was so happy in her pre-race interviews and then at the last minute she withdraws because of a bad MRI. Jordan should leave NOP. When she wasn't doing well Salazar wanted to drop her. She should remember this.
Boston weather Not Hasay Certified. They needed an excuse and thus blamed injury. Think about it, she's 100% fine during interviews a day ago. NOP believe weather may be to Rupp's advantage but Hasay too small and weak to deal with wind resistance and adverse weather. Not worth wasting an effort to have her blown away with the wind.
