How do you keep your feet on the ground, when you know you were born to fly?

nah... i am banking on wrigley not escalating. i am confident she is strong enough to resist.
i was wrong.
if you don't run, you'll rust. [tom petty] ..... i just wanna get back on track, even if it kills me. [motion city soundtrack] ..... if i only could be running up that hill, with no problems. if only i could, be running up that hill. [kate bush] ..... still running in place [alkaline trio] ..... at least i'll try and run, and run tonight, everything will be alright [the killers] ..... don't give up the distance. [flavio the magnificent]
asphalt ≠ trail
YOU CAN'T SPELL ASPHALT WITHOUT ASS!!
PPFHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! WOOWOO!! ASSSSSSSS-PHALT!!!
Oh now I wasn't slamming your pace. And you're right. I don't know what i'm talking about- and I don't care to. I can probably walk run 100 miles too. But I just don't get racing without attempting speed. It makes no sense to me. Scovills 102 mile run at 7:45s or whatever, now I can wrap my head around that. Now THAT is "pretty exceptional." I also like that you think you're "pretty exceptional." Tells me a lot more about you I'm glad you know so much about me after being here for a month or so. A month in which I haven't even posted that much. I drop the word "lame" a lot, and when I dropped it today I was being sarcastic with no intent to offend. That was kind of like me saying hello. I assume you know what sarcasm is? Maybe not. Actually, obviously not. Seems like we're fairly similar. Because I sure as hell am not going to put up with YOUR bullshit. Or anyone elses for that matter. You're not some scary ultra runner bartender chick to me- i'm not impressed. Who the hell are you anyway? It's like you came at me looking for this....weird. Freak.

I take it you found the "honey" part.
I pointed out that the 10 min/mile pace that you mocked is considered exceptional in some races. These runners are gifted, dedicated, and yes, "exceptional". I am not one of them. I am not even close.
"Speed" is relative. Do you think elite 800m runners mock elite marathoners for their pedestrian pace? The majority of 100s take place on trails and have 14,000+ feet of climb. Don't apply your flat road standards.
What I do know about the ultrarunning community, is the unbelievable amount of support of runners at all levels. The elites respect and encourage everyone that joins them on the trails. You demonstrate no respect or encouragement. At the start of the new year you openly bashed a good deal of people attempting 2000 miles, stating that they would soon fall to the end of the list. Why?
I don't know you. I don't pretend to, and I don't want to. What I do know, is how you treat people here. I don't know if you are actually mean spirited in real life, or if you just lack a brain to hands (and prob mouth) connection.
And, no. I didn't come to the swamp, looking for you or for this. Know why? It's not all about you!

Great, huh? Buzzed and minty fresh rarely go hand-in-hand.
Btw...Blue pairs well with chicken/fish, green with beef.
Uh oh. Watch out la brat. You have stiff competition...
Labrat has nothing to worry about. I don't really need to disappoint two guys in the swamp.

Am I the only one here that reads this thread as "nice group titties"? Unless you people want to duke it out Kill Bill style, I want to see more posts worthy of the subject. It's Friday somewhere in the world.

Quiet, you. Don't make me boot you out again.
No...
