What's wrong with you? Don't you know that running is a serious sport? Besides, as we all know from the recent ads from a <I>not to be named</I> running shoe company (unmentioned because I can't, for the life of me, remember with certainty which company it is -- I don't wear their shoes), <B>real runners</B> run too fast to get caught in quicksand.Shilingi-Mojahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07251531486621495599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468885075741803050.post-69596479238295885562008-02-20T16:54:00.000-07:002008-02-20T16:54:00.000-07:002008-02-20T16:54:00.000-07:00Have you thought about writing about the emergency of having your visor on too tight?

(Altho you never saw Lawrence of Arabia b/c that'll prove conclusively that you don't get out of sinkholes.) But that doesn't matter b/c you deserve to be drummed out of male society for creating a pejorative verb, chicked, which is gaining traction to diss all of us male runners out there who are cool (most of the time) to being passed by a female, even if she's not wearing headphones and still won't tell us her name after we struggle to go faster for a minute to get a breathless inane comment out just before the name request. (Hey, I see you're wearing a running skirt. I knew somebody that wore one once. She loved it. Yep she did. So what's your name?) We get taunted now with getting chicked, I see it in other blogs--shame! How about when women get passed, they get hottied. Redeem yourself, go to work on that one.peterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17284634727671648704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468885075741803050.post-79893075271379825472008-02-19T20:31:00.000-07:002008-02-19T20:31:00.000-07:002008-02-19T20:31:00.000-07:00As you wish...Marathon Maritzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00617226310522206108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468885075741803050.post-91909456598367059882008-02-19T19:30:00.000-07:002008-02-19T19:30:00.000-07:002008-02-19T19:30:00.000-07:00Awww...Ian you have always had your own special category of running blog.

Oh the curse of being a daydreamer and ignoring those 'DAnger - Quicksand' signs one after the other. I didn't tie my laces tighter, or my waistband, so when I was pulled out - a dog came to see what was wrong, and I managed to get him to understand that I was in danger, and he was to run back to his master and, by barking in a certain way, get him to realise what was wrong - I lost both my shoes and my dignity. I look forward to your next piece of advice.<BR/>(And if you ever feel like looking at our blog, www.runflux.com/blog, or even our new site, www.runflux.com, you know where to click).
