WOW! Real-life Bourne Identity stuff. No wonder your posts were always tinted by the 'looking over your shoulder" theme - you really were looking over your shoulder! Now I really wish that you had the same grounded athletics experience that I had. The worst I ever had was to run and eat and go to class and study and eat and take exams and run again and eat and study and drink beer and chase women. You would have loved it.
Swedish mob? Local thugs? Are they in prison, or what?
"Uncle Sven" ... LOL

EPelle, it's no secret you and I aren't buddies (I guess I'm the malmo to your Marlow), but I have to respect and appreciate the brief glimpse of your life you gave us here. Thanks for being willing to share it. To say it must have been tough I'm sure is quite the ridiculous understatement. There's obviously one heck of a prelude to the story, to which you vaguely hinted. To say you wouldn't have tinkered with history - awesome. What else does one say?
Regarding how training fit into all this, I have to agree with Squackee's remarks. The dedicated runner doesn't always define his success by races. The training alone makes so much of it worthwhile. I've forgotten most of my races, as only a few of them are truly memorable. But I remember many workouts for a variety of wonderful reasons.

Even if your story were true, it doesn't explain how you weren't able to translate your anger into a good race now and then, a race befitting somebody who could run 4X1600 in 4:11, which I might add, is a workout a 13:00 5k guy might do.

jesus christ stallion! lay the fuck off the guy.
I'm sick of this type of thing that has crept into our message board lately - of dissecting other posters' personal performances, and disagreeing with opinions (OPINIONS!!!) with a written tone of smugness, derision, and a "you are wrong, I am right attitude." Just stop it, already.
