Let's start a list:

How they know that running is simple and it's best to go by feel (while carefully monitoring pace, elevation change, footwear cost per mile, heart rate, cadence, and time of last bowel movement.)

How cool it is that Nobby, like, posted on my thread.

How the beer they drink comes from the smallest town and is made with the most organic ingredients.

How intelligent their training is because they know how to run easy.

How they don't take NSAIDS.

"I won my first marathon even though it was only Trent's goofy podunk race."

"I run so much slower than you on my easy days."

"I have met Eric Smile in real life and know his wife's real name."

"I just donated to RA."

"I have a near perfect recall of some race I ran against some guy in high school. In fact, as I'm typing this I hear the music from Vision Quest."

"I only drink unhomogenized milk from cows I know personally."

Runners run.

Is that something that goes on a DeLorean?

"i totally burned jester."

There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.

Back beat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt

I'm partly responsible for the creation of this particular sub-forum (I think Wingz, Trent, and backroadrunner had a hand in its creation, as well).

I'm so intelligent that I can find numerous flaws in the arguments of the insane.
