And also because he contributed nothing except setting up Ghana's goal.

If you get chances you have to finish. Ghana didn't take many shots but they made two of them count.

3 miles in 20 minutes is not.

when i ran the marine corp marathon I was about an 18 minute 5K runner. I pretended to be a little quicker when i lined up, but so did most I assume. there were 11000 runners. I crossed the START line 4 minutes into it. was this race more than 20000 runners? if not you ain't explaining away 10 minutes

"shit show" is my new fave word. it is so multi purpose. This Year they had Elite Runner start but sure it was either 15-30K people each night and you had to walk to start if you weren't in Elite area. So sorry I thought 1/2 was fast. Everyone that responded was such a downer man. You'd be deincentivized to try again. Damn. Adder take note you chill with negative folks you WILL lose motivation. ahemn

I don't know if the Corporate Challenge races do this, but the New York Road Runner races require a chip. You aren't clocked until you pass the starting line. It may be the Corporate Challenge races aren't done that way (I've never done one), but even so, it's no 10 minutes to the start. Bullshit, man. They do cap the participant number. Besides, a lot of the people I know who do those things are seriously fast (sub-6 milers). It's not just a bunch of schlumps.

Hell, my 6-year-old ran one last year (and his brother carried him piggyback for part of it) in less than 45 minutes. He walked a good part of it, too. And he just went out that day and ran it -- he didn't "train" or anything. And he was, um, a first-grader.

But I will join with those who say it's better to have "run" a 45-minute 5k than never to have done at all. Good on ya and all for doing it, but to say that people in their 20s in "top shape" are running 30-minute 5Ks is recockulous. Even I, in my post-pregnancy fatitude, can do that. And I'm a couple of years past my 20s.

Sorry for the slight case of diarrhea of the mouth -- I'm a bit tipsy. I've never drunk-posted before!!

This is downright unAmerican. At least you have finally corrected things.

As for congrats on walking three miles, I will abstain. Unless you are the mother and daughter duo I saw yesterday, for whom 15 feet from curb to metro elevator was a serious effort, 3 miles at a 4 mile per hour pace is not accomplishment. Any halfway normal adult human can do that.

If you want congrats, upgrade either the mileage or the pace significantly.

I think the congrats is for doing something for 45 minutes other than sitting in front of the computer screen or the TV. Any activity is better than no activity.
