Ugg, I HATE this argument. I've completed 6 marathons and have only "ran" two of them - and one of those doesn't count because of a pee break (which ironically was Fargo).

Annoying.

Yay for brothers who get you fired up! I read those articles and they made me so mad! I feel like I could run a sub 8 min mile right now. Thanks for the encouragement and boo-yeah for Sheehan.

I think it's an elitist point of view to think that you have to be able to complete a marathon at a certain pace to have really run it.

Whatever.

Goes back to my fave George Sheehan quote: "When runners do their best, they are all equal. But the paradox is that those far back in the pack exceed the designated winners in the time they must endure the forces that would make them quit."

@Happy Trails I will be there, bringing up the rear. Are you running it?

The fast folks can run, go home, shower, eat dinner ... then keep their mouths shut. What does it matter to them if there are still people on course? Unless they are Ryan Hall or Deena Kastor, they are getting beat by a bunch of people anyway...

BTW, you scared me with the title of your post!!! You running WS #3 this week in the snow?

Hmmm. They don't sound like friends to me. I think everyone should be allowed to be out there and move forward as they see fit for that race. Ultra runners walk, crawl and stumble, what makes that okay? A few extra miles. Tell my husband who shuffled the last few miles due to an injury that he isn't a marathon runner...but watch out! Nice post, Ace. It got me a little fired up!
