Jordan Hasay's dad visits and "loves" these forums

Big fan of her dad.

Um ... I’ve never heard of him, but he must have the heart of a lion like his daughter.

He's a very cool guy. Props to him for even talking to this clown circus after going thru wife's death and listening to washed up trolls whinning about his daughter who is more successful as a runner than all of them combined will ever be.

I've actually met him and he is in fact a really cool guy. He was with Jordan and at first I stupidly asked him if he was Alberto and he was like I'm her dad. It definitely could've gone downhill after that intro but he couldn't have been nicer to me.

In fact he provided some motivation that has stuck with me through this day. I was complaining how I was in my late 30's and it was getting harder to train and recover and he said "wait until you turn 60." It's a reminder for us all to live in the now because 20 years from we are going to wish we were able to recover like we can today.

If you've ever met Jordan in person you'd find that she is a very genuine, humble, and grounded person to an impressive extent especially when you take into account how she was thrust into the public spotlight at a young age. It's no wonder she turned out this way when you start to look at her support network. I really don't understand some of the hate she gets on here but I guess that comes with the territory of an anonymous message board.

And if you are reading this, thank you Mr. Hasay for the pep talk!!

I was gonna say.. the dude is a brave man. Not sure I could stomach the kinds of things people say online if it were about my own kids. Good for him

Her dad is A LOT cooler than Alexi Pappas’s dad , just sayin’.

Thank you for posting this. I'm training for my first 'thon. I ran a 5k and my g/f came to watch me. She's not a runner--until a few days ago. Now she wants to start training for her first 5k. Runners are a great community.

Hey, Letsrun deleted my negative post! How dare you not allow me to publicly criticsize someone ive never met!

Go Jordan, you are the best!!

We amateurs get called a few choice epithets, but runners who finished my races could rebuild the pyramids - faster. You know who you are...

Had been interesting to coach her! I think I can coach her faster than Alberto has done! )) - The Mighty Wizard -

This is true.

I was hoping we’d get a “Gobble Gobble MFer” out of him.

....um, ever heard of Joe Hasay...

So what?

Rojo forgot the last part of the story when Mr Hasay said “you’re the guys from Flotrack right?”

I think we just found out who used to tug on the teacher's skirt to tattle on the evil "bad boys." Hahahahaha.....

You go, girl!
