Runner Triathlete News [ return ] From Message Dave 1/27/2004 20:50:51 Subject: RE: HPMarathon-5K IP: Logged Message: Not to sound like ONCEARUNNER......But do any 5k participants really think that Karpas & Co sit around thinking about ways to improve the 5k?? Last year the 4 miler was 1/4 mile too short and this year the 5k was 1/4 mile too long.. Running the 5k on Marathon morning is like getting dressed up, going to Mortons, and ordering a cheeseburger... tgarr 1/28/2004 08:30:26 RE: HPMarathon-5K IP: Logged Message: Disagree Dave, if they charge me for a cheese burger at Mortons they ought to at lest bring me a cheese burger. I know the 5k is an after thought but one that cost 25$, meaning they should at least be obligated to get the distance right!

I would have loved to run the half or full but was recovering from an injury. I ran White Rock just last month so it wasn't like I did the 5K because I'm not a legit runner, or someone who can't handle longer distances. The 5K was my way (against my better judgement) to participate in Houston's biggest running day of the year. D. Lynne   1/28/2004 13:55:22 RE: HPMarathon-5K IP: Logged Message: I know how you feel. I too wanted to support the event even though I was not able to complete a marathon right now. A 6 hour marathoner is given more credit than someone who "only runs the half" or "only runs the 5k", no matter how WELL they run. <<Original Post <<Previous Page P 2
