Hey Bugmenot, Personly I think you are fast runner... not a great runner. My idea of a great runner starts with the person not their speed....

you might want to take some time and evalute your reasonings for coming onto a forum and letting people know that they are not as fast as you. As of right now I can say I would rather run with any of these people and learn from them than spend even a moment with a shallow person like yourself. I choose substance and what motivates a person rather than limelight.

But I hope you enjoy the rest of your running and you never end up with a injury that makes you slower...
Me well it is 5:52 am and I am heading out the door for 7 miles of trails in the Dark!!!! Love the night running!!!

Summing up the generalities, not individualities. Perhaps I'm a "wee little man", but at least I can run a 4:20 mile, a 15:11 5k, and a 1:14 half marathon.

Mine was - "Pass the skinnies, pass the skinnies" but will likely be "2:29:59, 2:29:59, ...." for my next 1/2 Marathon in March

I used your "Pass the Skinnies" today in my 5k... however when I need to set pace for a minute or two and look for my next place I wanted to be in the pack... I used "Follow the Hotties"

Suck it up.

On hills: I love hills!

It totally works. I got that one from a really nice "My First Marathon" video on You Tube.

Okay, thats the 2nd or 3rd time that song has been mentioned. I don't even remember that song. I am definitely going to rent finding nemo.

I do the Dory mantra too! And at the end of my long runs, "you can run two (one, half, quarter...) miles, so you can finish this..."

I really like the "pain is just weakness leaving the body" one. Will have to remember that one for the next 20 miler.

My favorite is actually from a song.

It hurts so good...

Sometimes love doesn't feel like it should. It hurts so good...
