Ah...again, imagine if every finisher grabbed 1,2,3 extra medals after each race to present to their spouse/parents/kids, who all came out to support their silly" little hobby". I don't where you run or how many road / trail races you've done in country and outside, but your experience dif...

You know what they say about assumptions...you should probably quit before you continue to make an *** of yourself :wink: You are derailing the thread. You recall wrong. I don't run to BQ, there are other interesting/adventurous/challenging races out there . I've done Boston twice in the past, and d...

You recall wrong. I don't run to BQ, there are other interesting/adventurous/challenging races out there . I've done Boston twice in the past, and don't feel the need to keep going back there. I'm NOT American, don't live there or have family there. Like I said, I always finish strong regardless and...

I know right....way cheaper than running the race, booking flights and hotel and the body pain from the race :lol: Oh, and I believe there might be free shipping too No you didn't steal..but you could have done the right thing i.e. return the item. Imagine if everybody did that eh..just saying. As f...

+100 They can expect the Juggernaut train spring run right into they daisy chain. My finishes are always a sprint from 100m out, and I finish strong. The daisy chain ladies... I mean, as long as they only joined hands in the last 4 or 5 strides before the finish line, who are they bothering? It's pr...

Krista is indeed an inspiration to a lot of young girls and women who choose not to make excuses or rely on equality only when it suits an agenda. Her perseverance and attitude towards running is second to none. 1. Race time that rival a lot of men - check, 2. Running mom - check, 3. class and not c...

I guess moving forward, runners should start grabbing more than 1 medal for their spouses and kids at home, and whilst they are at it....spread themselves across the home stretch in order to grab attention they crave so badly.

Name calling is so crass. It takes one to know one Must be a usual boring day in the back woods of Alberta

Did I mention anywhere in my most or allude to it that I wrote it? If NOT, then to try to read into my post and make silly assumptions. Thanks for coming out though Whoa Nelly! Yes Prof..didn't realize this is an academic site, and that I was submitting a thesis/dissertation. I would be sure to that...

Whoa Nelly! Yes Prof..didn't realize this is an academic site, and that I was submitting a thesis/dissertation. I would be sure to that next time, and yes I know Wikipedia is NOT a credible source :wink: You really should cite your sources and provide a link when you cut and paste from another site.

No you didn't steal..but you could have done the right thing i.e. return the item. Imagine if everybody did that eh..just saying. As far as the thief part, if you've overstayed a downtown parking meter by 20 minutes, you've stolen way, way more than this guy did. The other day I got home from the gr...

.....The reason why there are two different women’s world records is due to debate about whether or not women’s elite races that start with men provide an unfair advantage. The lone elite Canadian in London, Krista DuChene, had a tough race. After a quick opening 10K, she began to slow, getting drop...

Gorgeous day out...21.2km at race pace

Wow...what a race today by the elite field. 50,000 runners took part in the 37th London Marathon. A record 253,930 people entered the public ballot last May, as demand for places in this year’s event far outstripped availability. No record for the men, but in the women's race Keitany has set two wor...

True..I simply was asking for a definition of what constitutes 'thieving'. I NEVER claimed to be authority of any kind anywhere in my posts! There is a lot more going on in my life than a need for some namby-pamby authority. Conveniently, you didn't provide your definition of "taking something ...

Conveniently, you didn't provide your definition of "taking something that doesn't belong to you". Nobody is getting worked up, it's simply a discussion of ethical values. You and a couple of others, seem to be defending the guy's actions.Ironically, you are holding a sign that reads 'you ...

Sir Nick....you are a machine!

Side note: May I ask which football (soccer) team you support?

So, your definition of taking something that doesn't belong to you is what please.....a borrower? Be sure to leave your car unlocked with your purse in the passenger seat, or purse in your shopping cart next time, so that when "a poor person" helps themselves to it, your response will be i...

You mean like the lady at last Month's ATB who took a ride of a friend to km 28, and then went to collect a medal? I guess there should have been a cover up there eh? public shaming out of hand, definitely. poor guy probably didn't even realize he was doing anything wrong until the (running) interne...

As someone who has managed to stay away from social media to date, and still able to get in touch with family and friends via other means (text/phone call), I think am doing pretty well considering all that malarky / drama that goes along with being on social media. Yes, from what I see and read abo...

Contradicting yourself in your own post...."there are literally no consequences to anything or anyone", well of course you are saying this as a BAA insider right? Then you went on to say "I think sometimes people assume that....", do you fall into this group based on your own com...

Quite the analogy eh....the "star of your team" is one entity and doesn't always represent the club they play for. The kid in question might like the star for their service to country e.g. Crosby or Subban playing for Canada vice their teams. Again, why didn't Mr charity runner give his ea...

Ahahahaha.....His wife should make him hand it back to them. Personally, it would carry more weight if he handed over his own medal (he only got in as a charity even runner) to his wife. For those that don't see the issue with both cases, I guess it's easy to dismiss something when it's not affectin...
