  1. AAARGH don’t even get me STARTED on this one!! I couldn’t believe it when I heard it on the radio!! The rule is stupid enough, but to take away someone’s record that has been standing for what, eight years(?), is SO BAD!!

    My running team is actually men+women, and it makes a HUGE difference speed-wise! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that! 🙂

  2. I’m so happy I refound your blog! For some reason, the link I was following was outdated or something. I’m not a creepy stalker (really!)…I just enjoy your blog. 🙂
    Oh, and the record thing is STUPID! It’s not like the women are being carried across the finish line or anything…they still did it on their own!

  3. Wow, I can’t even believe they would do that! That is too bad, she ran that race fair and square! And you bring up a good point in all the advancements that have been made with gear and even that tracks that are run on! Should they just revert back because that’s “not fair?” It’s just so crazy!!!
