If you want to be inspired, watch 'The David Rudisha Story: 100 seconds to Beat the World'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXBYrKdx7og

It was shot over 10 years and shows an amazing amount of hard work, natural talent.

ya do know these were free, eh?

over to you, let's see your design. And then spend your own $ to produce it, then take your time to send them..and make it all free.

Yikes...

Don't have a sticker on my car, but I'm proud of running a half marathon under my target time, and not ashamed to say so. 13.1 is longer than I ever ran as a reasonably competitive high school middle distance runner.

I'm more proud of finishing PBP (in terrible weather), but did more actual training for the measly half.

For some folks, the half marathon is a major milestone after weight loss, lifetime inactivity, injury, illness, pregnancy, etc., so please keep that in mind next time you look down your nose.

This thread reminds me of why sometimes it's better to ride (or run) alone. Thanks for the decal offer though.

If the mods think this is inappropriate in Gen Disc please move it or delete.

Have a great weekend!

Well, this is kind of awkward...

As the original creator of this sticker idea, I guess I appreciate the homage.

Sure feels weird to be cruising the Internet, only to round a corner to find one's creative idea being flogged by somebody else, though.

I think a lot of people are coming up with this same or a very similar idea on their own. I recently saw one that said 0.0 I don't run.
