M 800 H02 (B section) 2009 Gentse Feesten Meeting (Gent/Ghent - Flander's Cup)

What inspiring running Mike!!!! A huge p.b. and, after many years of hard hard work, a sub 1:50 WOW. Just fantastic. I can appreciate how difficult this race is. I was never a runner, so when i started running at age 32, in order to reduce the pain i would count my steps. My 800m was 400 steps at a 2:03 pace. Then i would throw up!!! i cannot imaging running hard for another 400m after your first one is 54 seconds (which is my p.b. in the 400m alone!!). Keep up the awesome running - it's inspiring to everyone. Thanxs to Jay for keeping everyone in Toronto posted on your progress.

Old Adam Currie running well. Good job there fella and keep it up. Hard luck on the miss step with 200 to go otherwise I think you would've taken it!

Okay smitty! You crazy Canuk!! Good race b/w Currie and you!
