Added Wittenberg, "Also, just before the start, he lifted up his tail and loudly deposited a 9-inch-high pile of steaming fecal matter on the pavement, an unusual occurrence even in the world of long-distance running."
I didn't know Candice ran NY....
Lazy idiot
I had the same feeling as Jim but to be fair to the Onion it was Trent's link title and subject heading that was alarming.
Put differently: typical Trent.

I just wanted to call Trent a name, to be honest.
You could have used jaundiced instead of yellow. You get alliteration points for that.

Come on, people, that story is freakin' hilarious. Seriously.
Yeah, I agree. But then I saw it on the Onion first, before seeing the thread tltle here.
And yeah, Meb would totally kick the horse's ass.

One of the funniest Onion stories I've seen in a long time.
Runners run
A Saucy Wench
Ok, it could have been funny in a different situation, but when I realized it was a spoof I felt more a sense of relief than a desire to laugh. Meb's story was one of the more inspirational I've heard in a long time. When you add to it his display of emotion at the finish...well...I didn't want the headline to be true...kind of a sick feeling.
Really? How long have you been at RA and known Trent? As soon as I saw the title and a linky link from Trent I expected exactly what was delivered.
