Wow, sucks for you.

Apparently I am not a very nice person because I posted in haste. srlopez, that was a bit much. You seem super sensitive to the tone in other posts, but not so much to your own. Maybe ask to change subject line next time instead of bumping thread now would be the kinder more considerate approach.

Never thought of different time zones, but I don’t think it’s a mistake I should have to loose sleep over.

Purdey, thanks for calling me naive.

Did you actually read what I wrote in here????

I could give two shits if people discuss results. That's fine. I'd stay out of threads.

I was upset because a major plot point was in the freakin' subject line AND it showed up on the message board home page. I wasn't offered the chance to steer clear.

I was also upset that it seemed as though bugs was taunting me. And for this one, I totally accept the feedback from obsessor and others that I was whining. I was. But still... come on... the subject line...

Bugs,
I think the trigger was
It kind of read like taunting to me, too. You probably didn't mean it that way but that's how it seemed. That's the hard thing about the interweb, without knowing you, seeing your facial expression and tone of voice sometimes things are taken the wrong way.

To say that I'm disappointed doesn't begin to describe how I feel. There's nothing worse than being in great racing shape and having the opportunity taken away because of one tiny little accident. It's a very helpless feeling. There is very little that anyone can say or do at this point to make this feeling go away and I don't know what else I can do now but cry a bit, then move on to the next challenge.

The marathon is a humbling race and it has humbled me during the most important time of my running career.
