And by the way…

To the person who found this site by searching Google Canada for “running sucks marathon loser”. You totally suck. I don’t care if I did come up as #1, you still suck.

    How funny. Someone got to my blog via the same search just now. I did the search myself to see who the other “losers” are. :)

    woah. that is some serious funny business. if it makes you feel better, my blog comes up if you search for knee injuries. or calf injuries. or quad injuries. or recovering from injury. i AM the runners’ encyclopedia.

    Is it true that there’s no such thing as bad press? I’d like it if my blog got noticed at all. To each his own problems, I guess.

    P.S. - same question as DGC: how do you find this information out?

    Ha, ha, har, har. Did you do something that the Blogfather didn’t like? You know he can’t run in the moment and has a lot of time… naw, Mark is too nice of a guy.

    HA HA HA, I love that. It’s so funny. I am laughing out loud here at work! Who would search for that anyway?

    Chocolate Runner is not a Marathon Running Loser Sucker.

    Heh. But second what Donald said - all press is good press. Or, all Googles that put you at the top of the list are good googles. Figure out what mindshare that guy was looking for, and go with it…

    There are some real losers around arn’t they…..probably some wannabe runner consumed with jealousy of those elite and athletic (that’s you by the way)

    That’s very strange Jon and so not true. Now the weirdest search to my page lately has been “Wet t-shirt contest results”. What the heh!!! :-)

    Do you know? I’ve *never* gotten any kind of running hit on my journal! “sex kitten”, “ipod sex”, and “21 weeks pregnant” are the usual suspects, and most of the random ones are equally ridiculous…like “best way male masturbating”. Really. I also get lots of hits from people looking for tips on how to be bulimic (bulimia is often referred to as “mia”) and lots of people searching for “goddess” in general. But nope. Never once have I gotten a hit on running. How sad!

    How do you guys find out how someone found your blog? But you are so not a marathon loser, by the way.

    Oh my gosh, that’s so funny. I just checked to see how some people found my blog via yahoo or google searches. Here are the search terms: “las vegas bikini pics,” “dead swanky fayetteville arkansas,” and “barefoot shoes.”
