songs of experience

In response to the queries on the “world famous message board” at Letsrun.com, I must defend the honor of every female 10,000m runner in the Olympic trials in 1988, 1992, and 1996. When I wote, “no druggies in the the 10k,” I was not implying anything about anyone. I was simply relieved that I was racing in a clean event. Sui Vilva got it right when she posted:

“Maybe she’s not “referring” to anyone, obliquely or otherwise. Maybe she’s saying that there were not druggies in the 10,000 period.”

p.s. I think Kramer has a crush on me. You know how 3rd grade boys punch girls to show they like them? (I think all of your anonymous on-line bashings are actually love notes. How sweet).
