Almost famous

Well, I just got interviewed for an article in Runner's World a few minutes ago (as a result of a comment I left at the Complete Running Network). Shows how low their standards have fallen, doesn't it?

Do you think they wanted to hear about my recent string of illustrious PRs in celebration of my 50th year? NO.
Do you think they wanted to hear about my blazing 5-hour and 6-hour marathon finishes? NO.
Do you think they wanted to hear about me clawing my way tooth and nail through the back of the pack of Athena triathletes? NO.

They wanted to hear about my DNF several years ago at Country Music Marathon when I had a stress fracture (unknown to me) and walked halfway through the course while limping, permanently messing up my ankle. Osteoarthritis is forever.

Sigh.

What would that info be for? Are they actually going to publish your comments?

It's for an article planned for their race issue in the fall, about reasons to DNF.

I think it's great! (not what happened to you, but that they chose you.)
