re: Uhhhhhhh

The people that overestimate their potential and line up in front of races only to block the fast runners behind them for the first part of races.

Same with the baby carriage crowd. I’m mean seriously folks!

Cross country teams coached by the basketball coach who while well meaning doesn’t know sh@t about hard core racing. Training but since he and his wife love running the occasional 5km they are qualified to coach Xc.

Or the athletic directors who refuse to spend any money on xc...other than the usual singlets shirts sweats...but buy imported dirt from Mexico for their baseball field cause they are the baseball coach and their son is the star pitcher...real story I kid you not., top of the live bats and take the entire team to flower rods every spring while Xc track is out shoveling out the track from 5feet of snow.

Any time a 4:00 or slower marathoner or trail/ultra “runner” of any variety speaks to me about running.

Of *any* variety? You do know that there are guys who put down sub-2:50 50ks on roads, and sub-3:20 50ks on trails, right? Not everyone who races off-road or decide to go over a marathon is a walker.

"Half or full?"

And to give this thread even more life, I'll throw out race signs that need to be retired:

You're only HALF crazy!

I thought they said rum!

All this for a banana?

Run faster, I just farted

Douche: “ how far’d you run?”

Me: about 10 Miles

Douche: “I do that all the time...in my car”

re: Long long long Timer

How far is that 5k marathon you're running this weekend?

The complete lack of understanding that further distance is not necessarily more impressive.

Coming in this stupid site only to be bombarded by Jamin’s worthless threads.

re: Long long long Timer

That every year age takes away some more of the fun of running by limiting speed and strength. I think I've thrown everything at the process except peds and nothing seems to reverse the degradation, maybe just hold it off a little. And age grading doesn't make it feel any better. Spoiled child? Yeah, guilty. Gotta give credit to the running for awesome health still, but it's still tough to take the losses.

People think you're sort of rich when you run in the ghetto area...

“Oh you’re a runner? I HATE running.”

Yeah, like that’s appropriate to say. Like, “Oh, you’re a swimmer and it’s changed your life and one of the greatest joys of your day? I HATE swimming.”
