This is not something people brag about but I'm certain it is a common thought: "WTF is the swamp?"

How hot it is. How far they ran despite how hot it is.
How little clothing they wear below 20 degrees.
How they almost threw up the last time they drove past a Dicks / how high they got when they paid below wholesale for minimalist stuff at a mom and pop commune non-profit shoe collaborative.
How awesomely obscure their signature/avatar is and how they wish you'd ask about it (maybe more of a characteristic than a brag)
How much they hate bumperstickers.
Their knowledge of orthotics.
Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and roguesWe're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes

How they wake up at 3 in the morning to get their run in, because they have to make time to take their children to soccer, football, basketball, gymnastics, ballet, wrestling, water polo, horsie polo, macrame, rugby, baseball,softball, swimming, cricket, archery, ice hockey, field hockey, lucha libre, tennis, handball, karate, and curling (and that's just on a Wednesday).

Funny, I was going to post the same thing, except "This guy I've never met but read about on a running message board was on the USA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 24 RACING TEAM and he runs like 200 miles a week sometimes. In his basement. And I know him, well, not really and he certainly has no idea who I am but isn't that cool?"

I was able to sign up to run Boston because a guy named Greg Rowe provided a link on RA that got me and a bunch of others in.
When is Eric going to implement a "+1" or "likes" feature?!
...And Greg Rowe re-posted the link from a guy formerly known as DCV2000 who posted it on some other running forum...
"I have my BQ-30."
Feeling the growl again
+1. And I totally forgot to give you a really awkward hug afterwards at Crossroads for that one.

Y'all have an interesting concept of "unique to RA" or perhaps only hang out here :-).
