Those shoes are rediculous, I can't imagine running so fast for so long with feet bleeding like that
John Boucher posted August 30 at 3:58pm.
Brian,
You were awesome! We are very proud of you and proud that you represented the USA.

By the way, You looked awesome in your Aruba Sport Sunglasses!!
Scott Subastian posted August 28 at 12:55pm.
Brian works for one of the Home Depots in my area. He is by far one of the most humble people I have ever met. I, like everybody @ Home Depot is extremely proud of him and representing the US in Beijing.

As far as the schedule request goes for the previous poster, no. We do not give schedules out over the phone.

They need to sell those Redneck Running shirts, I would buy one of those before I would ever buy a Black Cactus shirt, nothing against BC, just a huge Sell fan.
Jon posted August 27 at 8:36pm.
B Sell is the greatest. Rules. a total warrior. more guts than anyone in this sport.

to Daniel:
22nd, not 22th twenty-twoth sounds like bad dental hygiene
Stacy posted August 27 at 1:29pm.
what a man!
Dean Rugh posted August 26 at 11:07am.
Yea, I'm coming out to Rochester in a week or so to meet Brian at work. Do you think Home Depot will give me his schedule over the phone?
Daniel posted August 26 at 9:21am.
to Mike, Brian got 22th not 10th. 10th was Ryan Hall.
Here is the ranking:

Mike posted August 26 at 8:39am.
Brian should be extremely proud for his accomplishment in Beijing. 10th is awesome. Most of the African runners who were ahead of Brian have been doing long distance running THEIR ENTIRE LIFE. They are marathon specialists. How many marathons has Brian done so far? So for him to have done what he has done should make everyone have their eyes wide open because it was a pretty amazing feat. He will only get better too.
John Jacob posted August 26 at 8:20am.
Congratulations you ran a great race from a 10:0's 2 miler to 22nd in the world, jesus christ man! you ran well but you had some trouble, don't let that from flotrack try and convince you it was anything less.

Your performance in Beijing proves your one of the world’s top Marathoners and your personal story really reaches in to the hearts and minds of a lot of runners and future Olympian want-to-be’s. Great Race and hope to see you run in London! PS I'll take the "bloody shoes" (no pun intended ) if I win the prize!

Great job Brian! I'm honored to win a pair of your bloody shoes! LOL!

SmokinJoe posted August 24 at 10:25am.
Awesome job Brian! I was really rooting for you. Hang in there. Don't make any decisions in haste. I think your best is still ahead of you!
David Cohen posted August 24 at 9:49am.
Great interview--I know the whole media thing isn't your bag but we all appreciate it.

Given the circumstances I think you had a great race.
Stay with it and see what London will bring!
Wowza posted August 24 at 9:25am.
I'm glad they showed his shoes and not what his feet look like!
Gundi posted August 24 at 7:51am.
My son Max and I wore our Hanson's-Brooks hats during the marathon for you. Very proud of you and all the Hanson's-Brooks team, as well as your Olympic teammates. Thanks for representing. A little blood is a temporary discomfort, while being an Olympian is forever.
Robert Lee posted August 24 at 7:45am.
