[sokha326]

[MrPhilosophicalpanda]

@FBInvestagators1234 Congratulations. Here, have a medal.

[holyfanoly]

@Silentboy.....haha yeah that is pretty slow. Try to step it up some moron.

[franforest]

What's this about? putting our 5K PB? Ok 15:27, enough for division 1?

[jupitercrash07]

I ran a 16:52 5k in high school and it was only good enough for a partial scholarship to a division II school

[ThatKiddFrancis]

idk what the hell that guys talking about, maybe division 2

ANY division 1 school will require at least sub 16 for a scholarship of any sort

[dietrijn9er]

how hilarious it the lady chanting "USA, USA!". Who are we competing with?

[sokha326]

@dietrijn9er Only in America

[toby099]

R.I.P Ryan Shay, He should of been up on the podium too.

[RagingMetaler515]

So what was his time in trials? And the olympics? I always miss everything I want to see (wrestling for example) during the olympics.

[danceallaroundyou]

ryan and chad hall :] yummm

[bluehighlighterfreak]

THATS WEIRD

[gjmolina123]

I was in NY the day he ran this race (I was running the NY marathon the next day). It was very inspiring. I have no doubt he will medal tomorrow.

GO RYAN GO!

[ActressAlyssa]

I read the article in Running magazine about Ryan. His relationship with God made me cry. Win or lose in the olympics, he already has what is most important.

[Lea233]

I read that exact same article! He is so amazing that article definately helped me love running and God more.

[candace80]

Go Ryan! Big Bear is rooting for you ~ and the US is rooting for you :o)

[progamerJohn77]

run a million miles for ryan hall

[progamerJohn77]

his dad is my teacher

[DemonFromBVW]

My town(Big Bear,where he used to live) was all shocked when we actually ran 1,000,000 miles for him lol.

But yeah,he clapped my hand.That was cool

[BobBobGobGob]

Bring home the gold, Ryan!

[ChewTuber]

RYAN HALL my KING

[FMF72003]

i uset to run agenst this guy they call the aHall and still do he is my best friend

mike

[WhatsUpLau]

Awesome, I'll be supporting him in Beijing

[ttaayylloorrmmtt]

Im from Big Bear california wear Ryan is from.. Its a small town and the whole place is going crazy about him.

[2mileking]

big bear is the biggest town in those mountains, I grew up in lake arrowhead, went to RIM

[auraldanger]

bet he's feeling pretty good about himself right now. America doesn't really deserve a spot at the Olympics until we can give up our aggression against other nations, at least during the games. And in China... this whole Olympics stinks of Berlin.

[alwessel1]

oh Ryan Hall... envy

[OtakuProductions82]

I love Ryan Hall. he's such a nice guy!!

[corbincrazy3390]

i know ryan hall persinelly if you dont beleve me i will post a photo of him and me but if you do beleve then then your awesome

[MadPeanut72]

[aabehzadi]

He is from Big Bear lake California

[ttaayylloorrmmtt]

I know his brother chad

[insan0die]

rollerhockeyfan*

[cali33344]

us olympics- german

[escalatervw08]

what?

[deadhead507461]

ryan hall is my hero.

[booyyeeee]

rollerhockeyfan, Pre was drunk when he was killed, it wasn't another drunk driver. But it wasn't as bad as dmg986 makes it sound. No one knows how drunk he was and he should have still been alive today, but the other driver had no balls so he just fled the scene instead of helping or getting help.

[fanguism]

Hall is such an inspiration to watch!

[runningsean]

Geb has gone back and forth about if he will run, saying that the pollition will affect his asthma

[wallasky]

Someone told me that Geb will not run the marathon in Beijing because of the air pollution. Does anyone know if this correct?

[afrikanrunner81]

I dont know if you know this, but Pre was a 5000 meter runner not a marathoner. Pre if I understand right, was never a religious person, Ryan Hall is. Hall is his own person. Besides, no one ever compared the two. And Hall never said he was Pre.

[runfunnysony1]

ur an idiot

[dmg986]

That's for sure. Hall didn't get drunk, crash his car, and die at the age of 24.

[rollerhockeyfan]

You're a worthless piece of shit, Pre was killed by a drunk driver, HE WAS NOT DRUNK! look up your facts you piece of shit.....before you ever dis pre again send me a PM, and be sure to include your address and phone number so i can kick your ass, god damn fucktard.

[insan0die]

you must be the toughest one in kindergarden...

[rollerhockeyfan]

are you the brother or the second name of Asshole #1? (dmg986) Pre was a legend, do not disrespect him....dick.

[granitestateflash]

You are an absulute dick head. You probably are a fake runner and cant even break 18 in a 5k. Pre is the absulute best American runner of all time. Ur just a hipicrite who thinks he was drunk if he had one drink.

[dmg986]

Thanks for bringing the lulz, Mr. Internet Tough Guy.

My PR is actually 16:47, but that's not anything too special either.

[bushwhack93]

yeah its not

[tampabayrays23]

dude 16:47 for a 5k in FLORIDA HIGH SCHOOLS are automatic ride on scholorship. the florida standards for 5k CC is a time 17:05 and below for scholorships

[noguhd06]

lol are you sure, maybe for walk ons. realistically, you're in great standing to getting a scholarship if you'r in 16 o / hi 15 shape,

[sendinfox14]

dang dude...i'm movin' to florida....i can run a 17:23 5k but its only my junior year in high school.......my goal is 16: 40 by next year... i live in st. louis missouri

[bwalt246]

@tampabayrays23 Man I wish I would have known that, I would have moved to Florida, I ran a 5k in 16:20 here in IN and not even Division 1 schools would consider me for a full ride.

[geto235]

@bwalt246 ummm with that time do ANY schools consider ANYTHING?

[Lo0karunner]

Geb is going to win it, but Hall will be up there.

Geb is just such a damn beast, sorry Hall. I would LOVE to see Geb in first and Hall in second, but we'll have to see.

[afrikanrunner81]

idk, hall has a lot of talent, he was pretty much beasting that course, and i heard its a pretty hard course to run.

[Lo0karunner]

Well sure, he's got loads of talent. But Geb's the WR holder at like 35 I think? 4:44's will not be an easy feat for Hall. I'm sure he can will give Geb a great race though. I'm sure he could even win it if he runs smart. I'm still rooting for Geb though. A gold in the marathon would be the perfect way to *end* his racing career. I mean, cmon the guy is a frigging MONSTER. Winning this one would just drive it home further.

Oh well, still can't wait!

[afrikanrunner81]

idk, I think your underestimating Hall, every half-marathon/marathon race ive seen him run hes been far infront, I think if hes given stiff competition he would set a huge personal best...I dont think he wont put up a fight, especially if its the olympics.

[afrikanrunner81]

well, I dont think Geb will win the marathon anymore, but good luck to him in the 10,000

[dthtravis]

hall is going to take gold in the olympics followed by geb.

[bearhunter08]

can't wait for ryan hall to compete in '08. he's got the heart to come away with gold. i think he can do it. in this month's issue of runners world, the ab workout of the american marathon team was detailed. it's intense. they're all working so hard! god bless 'em!

[Eljayan]

This is wrong... This Race was run in a Cold Day. In Beijing it's gonna be hot.

The trial must have been run in similar conditions to those runners will face in the Olympics and see whos the best

[USNArunninruth]

Your retarded if you say that he is doping. i dont know if any distance runners that have doped. it has negatives effects on the body. lets give him credit for being a good runner rather than assuming and accusing.

[afrikanrunner81]

i think hes being sarcastic. Everyone accuses good runners of doping because they cant do it, and it kinda pisses me off, cus the people that make those accusations do suck at anything running related.

[psiturbo]

Now, lets everybody say he is doping as it is the normal trend that its just impossible. Yes, he is another doper! LOL. Honestly, he fuckin runs like a maniac, awesome!

[darthbravo]

I ran against him in high school in a mile race during CIF Southern Section. He ran like a 4:03 that race. Ill never forget how fast he was! Left my slow ass in the dust.

[sendinfox14]

thats awesome lol.....i'm a runner too btw so don't think that this is coming from an amateur or something haha, but thats a story to tell right there

[need4speed4245]

Gah what a beast. He told meb and abdi who's boss

[Lemurai]

That guy is awsome, I never thought running was cool until I tried it myself. Praise to any runners on this thread!

[1MileRunner]

I was running back and forth throughout the whole race. I ended up about 30 people back across the street from the jumbotron at the finish. The roar from the crowd was unreal! Ryan's got a legitimate shot in '08.

[bmattis1]

The americans have a realistic shot at Gold in 2008.  I think hall's only going to get better with age!

[westasics]

haha, yeah dude, his names Ryan Hall, not Gary, it saya it in your about section, honest mistake.

[janet928]

Pre lives

[ryanfreitas]

this is awesome!!! i mised the whole marathon and was looking for something on ryan shay but yeah. Hall is amazing.

[run2win]

who is this gary hall character that you speak of?

[crisgloria]

I could tell my friend.....sarcasm is good sometimes...thank you again...
