.... Jeff ran a 2:50 to win a hilly somebitch marathon in his debut at the distance without ever running more than 13 miles in training. Then he followed that up with a 2:38 this spring in his 2nd marathon.
Okay, I like to say that Waitz supposedly ran her first marathon off never running more than 12 miles, and it went rather fabulously.
Of course, the unstated punch line is that she was in pretty good shape already, probably better than X, where X is whoever.
Now what about Jeff -- what kind of training volume and level was he at before the marathon?
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
My point (three years ago) was simply that running the full marathon distance, or at least 22 miles, or something longer than 20 miles, is not a necessary condition for avoiding the wall. That's all.
The Titans hattrick girl is not new.
Thrashers and, no, she's not.

OK, what's with the hats? Does everyone throw their hats away when someone scores a goal in ice hockey? Then scantily clad women skate around and pick them up again? Other people's local customs are weird.
check with the Canadians...
3 goals in a game is a hattrick. I think it might have started with soccer (football) but has become more associated with hockey probably because it is a slightly less rare event in hockey.

And scantiily clad wimmen always seem like a good idea.
Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

Since you got told to check with Canadians (and I believe I fit that category)...NO. Or else we'd have a lot of cold-eared Canadians.
