I am a new runner, and just recently saw this message board. I am attempting to run the Marine Corps Marathon, and came to this site in search for tips on training, etc. However, after reading through many of the posts on here, I was highly disappointed. It is true that many of the posters on here are positive, and truly trying to help each other, but I found that many posters are cocky, not helpful, and eager to pick a fight. I was surprised to find such blatant arrogance amongst many posters, and found rudeness in posts to be very common. I am disappointed, and think that some of the posters on here should re-evaluate their purpose on here.
