Feeling the growl again
Crazy!
Glad a DQ didn't result from that. I think they both could have handled their line better so it was a wash on fault for the contact...didn't appear to affect the result.

wow.. maybe the worst article on running I have ever seen.
"The distance was approximately 25.85 miles, or roughly 40 kilometers. Legend has it that the runner arrived, announced the message — “Niki!” (Victory!) — and collapsed dead on the spot.
In any case, the distance of the race was not officially changed until the year 1908, in London. The reason? The race was lengthened by 2.2 miles so that the finish line could be placed directly in front of the royal family’s viewing box."

25.85 + 2.2 = 26.2? Sounds like that new Common Core math my daughter brings home.
Thanks for reminding me of that BS. I recall when my daughter was struggling with a single variable equation solution and she showed me the "process" they were teaching. Made my friggin eyes spin. I showed her how to properly solve it and her comment was "Why don't they just teach it that way? Its so much simpler and makes sense." Cripes.
8:04 AR for Jager in the steeple. Second time for they guy, after how long that record stood....8:06 now 2+sec more....wow...
Pretty amazing. If he would cut that hair off he could go sub 8.
Mile is better than the Marathon.
Some of the comments are priceless.. "Sorry, but unless you are an elite runner, you have to be a completely idiot to run marathons. Pounding the pavement for 26 miles, and the damage it does to your knees, feet and ankles, more than offsets any so-called health benefit. Look at the out-to-pasture marathoners who need all sorts of surgery." Thank you Eric!

I always find the comments section on articles...of any type, anywhere...to be perfect for when you need to realize just how far above much of society you are.
Saw the condensed replay on Flotrack. It was a very impressive run.
I've been trying for a while now to break myself of the habit of even looking at the comments section when I read an article online, but I still do it. Guess I am a completely idiot.

Speaking of the 5th Ave Mile .... My wife and I will be in Manhattan this weekend visiting my daughter. I immediately tried to register for the race when I found out we'd be there but it was sold out! I sent an email to the RD with a sob story but I'm sure he gets a zillion of those every year. I guess I'll have to be content with watching the action from the sidelines (unless one of you boobs has an 'in' with the NYRR?!). But I am excited as hell to watch the races. Whoohoo!
That will be cool.
I went searching for the start list. And noticed that the press release includes twitter handles of the athletes.
