Newbies
They just make me sick. All the hoopla and happiness. Don't they know that they're supposed to be miserable?
Yes, I'm talking about all you newbies out there. I went to Columbus (for the Last Chance for Boston Races) with some of you, and also met up with a few others. I had to put up with all the talk about accomplishments and joyful running. I had to cheer everyone on, and act like I meant it.
Well I didn't. I'm miserable and unhappy, and I hate running. Everyone else ought to too.

Okay, I was kidding. Really. I absolutely love all you new runners, and I love the fact that you're out there accomplishing things. You are invigorating and enriching the sport that I've loved for 38 years or so. May you continue to join us oldies.

Thought you were being cynical until I read the WHOLE thing. I agree with your sentiments.
Hi Glenn - I'm glad you did read the WHOLE thing!
Just read this, you crack me up! I am definitely that annoying new marathoner! Thanks for cheering us on though, so nice you went all the way down there feeling as you did!
At least we ALMOST won a marathon! :)
