Good for him. Maybe the pat on the back will keep him training and it didn't hurt you or me one bit. In fact "Running" got a plug. Besides, there are no "National" web sites. Everyone in the world can log on.
I agree. The kid should be tarred and feathered. How dare he get a story about him while I didn't. Disgraceful.
or maybe anyone who reads it will think that a high school PR of 16:21 is something to be proud of and once they reach that they will not aspire for anything better.
there are tons of high school kids who ran as much as a minute faster and more than that last year. i guess the running in myrtle beach sucks.
galloway has won
Not sure what you're whining about here. He got a story in "myrtlebeach.com." How's that a bad thing? Are you the kid that was 38 seconds slower?
Kiddo, let me reccomend a book to you that will do you more good than all of your 3 years of high school has taught you: It is called "How to Win Friends and Influence People", by Dale Carnegie.
Check it out!
Amen, Thoner.
Uh...hold on a second. This kid may not be of Solinksy's caliber, but he's apparently a half-minute better than anyone he competes against in his area. Why the hell would you possibly complain about something like this?
Hey disgusted,
Post your mailing address so that a few of us can come round and explain youth track to you, then you'll know what 'disgusted' really means.
joey
Isn't it ironic that the word vowell doesn't end in one?
Maybe not...
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Disgusted. ALL PRs are good PRs! The sooner you get that the sooner you'll get to work on yours.
if you are disgusted by this you should ask yourself; why do i run? is it for fame? i'm not saying runners don't enjoy the spotlight every now and then, but that shouldn't be the motivation to train hard. runners should train hard to make themselves the best they can be...not to get their name on a national website. just my opinion though.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
