Post by: Coyote Mas Loco on February 05, 2019, 11:29:21 AM: My old home town, used to run those trails a couple times a month.

perhaps my middle names should be "a bit snarky," but just sayin...

Meanwhile the state wildlife rangers captured 2 mountain lions in the area, believed to be sibs of the offending lion, and will relocate the animals at a later date.

Post by: diablita on February 16, 2019, 07:12:51 AM: I read about both. They're calling her a runner but he's a jogger. I guess because he wasn't in a race? Or maybe a 50k training run that ends with killing a predator at the end doesn't merit a "runner" designation.

Post by: Coyote Mas Loco on February 16, 2019, 03:17:37 PM: At letsrun there are always naysayers and denigrators. So according to the necropsy the young lion was only 35 or 40 lb. Therefore, should have been no match for Kaufmann and not a big deal.

This captures the average letsruner pretty well. Socially awkward and bitter that they can't get a date.

"12 Basement Trolls" as Mike Rossi called them

ETA: You missed the reference, didn't you, CML?

Maybe it was from the other article, which I haven't read yet. Otherwise, I don't have access to the codebook.
Nevertheless, diablita's comment seemed to capture an element of the letsrun gestalt so that's why I commented.

Post by: diablita on February 19, 2019, 03:08:18 PM: Wilson nailed it. From the tiny amount of time I've spent on letsrun, it's the feeling I get about the posters. Both more literally and from a figurative standpoint they seem to think they're experts on all things ~~running~~ but maybe don't do all those things and instead are keyboard jockeys.
