I'm looking for some inspiring running posters for my room and am having trouble finding any online. Anyone know of some good running posters for sale online featuring some of those Kenyans or maybe Josh McDougal? Thanks!

This is one of my faves, a limited edition Hatch Show Print from a nutty lil marathon :

If you want one, I can get it for you cheap.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

I can reach right out with my right hand and touch one just like it. See? I just did. But I think it cost me 10 bucks. Race directors a greedy bastard.

posTers, not posers! I used to have one that was a picture of a runner on a two lane road winding through the hills with the quote reading something like... the race goes not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running. I can still see that one...long lost. It always made me want to go run.

""...the truth that someday, you will go for your last run. But not today—today you got to run." - Matt Crownover (after Western States)

Just did a google search, and the first site that popped up was www.art.com They seem to have several running posters, as well as other sports/motivational

Trent, I'll trade you a Track Town USA Eugene OR Olympic T&F trials history poster for that swell flying monkey poster. I'll even throw in a hokey green Olympic Trials 08 wrist band!

I have not emailed you in months, but this will change now that you have publicly called me out. You're getting all my viagra ads, now. And any pancake enlargement emails. Evil grin

I'd go for John Landy looking over his left shoulder at an inopportune moment. Poor guy. You're not going to find a Josh McD poster because he's not a pro, unless there was something produced especially for a meet, which is unlikely. There really aren't that many good running posters out there, unless you want to have the same ones that every other freshman cross runner has. The coolest thing to do would be to have your own posters made. Find some photos from trackandfieldphoto.com, order some prints, and get them blown up. Alternatively, you could go to some meets and take photos yourself. It's fun to be able to tell the story of your poster. A few nice ones: http://www.trackandfieldphoto.com/DisplayJpg.php?070828_1203_1688_RLM&next=1 http://trackandfieldphoto.com/DisplayJpg.php?080419_0252_2691_RLM&next=1

What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes. The Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials. How could they be expected to understand that? -John Parker

The treadmill store was willing to give me some that they get from the various companies of TMs they sell. It helps if you're cute and you flirt.
