t-and-f: Looking for Pocatello results

Hi everybody. I wonder if somebody has the link to the official results of the Idaho State Tie Dye Meet, held in Pocatello on Dec 14. According to the Idaho State Journal website, Stacy Dragila cleared 15-0, along with some other good marks in various events. I haven't been able to find

Back in the day, back before running was reinvented in Boulder, there was a war in the streets as you tried to log your miles. One winter I was asked why my running outfit was so ugly. The colors of this outfit could not be blamed on my color blindness. I dyed my long johns a deep pink, my shorts

Re: t-and-f: yelling at runners (was: favortie sport...)

But why be dead right? If special clothing has to be worn with the intent of being seen by drivers, then maybe a route farther away from auto traffic needs to be found. I think bright clothing gives some runners a false sense of security. Having grown up in the South Suburbs of Chicago, I've

Of course, unless The Times means last year as in nearly 24 months ago, then he set the record while a freshman in college. I assume they mean early 2001, which could more accurately be called 2 years ago at this point. - Original Message - His PR, which he set last year as the high

Re: t-and-f: yelling at runners (was: favortie sport...)

This sounds so crazy I think I must be making it up, but did I read somewhere once (urban myth?) that there's some kind of inherent targeting mechanism in the brain that actually leads drivers in certain cases to swerve towards people (not just runners) on the side of the road? Not with any

Re: t-and-f: yelling at runners (was: favortie sport...)

Yes, Garry, I think so. I recall it was about drivers hitting parked vehicles that had their lights on! It is because drivers have descended from primal hunters. I also recommend the prey run in camouflage. td -- From: ghill [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: track list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:

Re: t-and-f: yelling at runners (was: favortie sport...)

Mike, Help me here. A runner should find a route farther away from auto trafficand further away from country roads where the senior set wants to make you dead right? And you have preferred to run at night with dark clothes on so that you can be an invisible moving target? I take it that this

I've been playing in traffic now for nigh on 60,000 or so miles in the last 20 years. One of my one finger salutes a few years ago got the guy I was running with that day charged with some highway traffic offence. He had the misfortune of running in the outside lane. We had to assume the

Re: t-and-f: yelling at runners (was: favortie sport...)

I never knew how good I had it here in the Bay Area until reading this thread! Been running since the early 70s, and can count on one hand (okay, maybe two) the amount of times I've been even heckled at. The worst incident I can recall is a group of kids puddle-splashing me with their car.

Does anybody else ever feel like they're being pulled to the side of a bridge when they're running across one? I don't know if it's my paranoia/fear of heights, latent suicidal tendencies or some other effect. The only other person I ever brought it up with said he felt the same way. Jorma -
