Old age is when you move from illegal to prescribed drugs.

Don't let this thread get boring again. More elitist snarky screeds, please.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Context is everything. Post the quote that you posted in context and make your point or bugger off. Randomly picking phrases from other posts and pretending they were said to support some point is just childish and lame. Disappointing, really. Try again. I know you can do better.

To me racing on your own equates to having sex on your own, now isn't there a word for that?
I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com
Much like PRed, it seemed you just wanted to join in the bashing without really having anything to contribute.
I think it was a PR!
And, if you count the new 1:29 as your PR, how do you enter it on RA without screwing up your mileage totals?

Why is it sideways?
You don't. Something doesn't have to be displayed in your RA running log to exist.

Are you God?! Seriously...you know EVERYTHING! Wait...that means you know what I did in the shower this morning....damn.
OK, how about the races you run where you blow away some long-standing, but shorter, PR. Do you count the new PR you ran that was part of the longer race, or leave the old one? Example, for those confused. YOu run a 1/2 marathon in 1:40 (all out effort). Two-three months later, you run a marathon in 2:59, with the first half in 1:30 and the 2nd half in 1:29. Do you now count the 1;29 as your new 1/2 marathon PR? Or is the 1:40 still your PR, since that was the best you did in a 1/2 marathon race?
Neither. Your new PR is 1:30. You can't count the 2nd half of a marathon as a half-marathon PR, because you had the advantage of a running start. There is a similar rule in swimming, where only the lead-off leg of a relay is eligible for world records, because the other legs have the advantage of anticipating the start. Take that, bitches!
