- Give the guy a break! ANYONE that exercises, that goes out and
- 'just does it' is okay by me! Clinton never professed to be
- a spectacular runner, why must you label him?
-
- When you start judging someone by their speed, you take away from
- them the one thing that is so very special about running. With
- running you do it for YOU. You are your primary contender. You set your
- goals, you decide when to run fast and when to run slow.
-
- How dare anyone put someone down because they think they
- don't run fast enough! We as runners should support other
- runners in their endeavors not ridicule them because they
- don't live up to our standards!
-
- I say `BRAVO!' to the 5:00 miler, to the 7:00 miler to the
- 15:00 miler, to anyone who exercises!
