Dan's Article in M&B

Dan Stumpus' article 'Running with Kenyans' is published
in the September/October issue of Marathon & Beyond.
Nice read, Dan.

Allow me to review it for you: No Dan, the kenyans' don't run for
glory, not for recognition, not even for the promise of a better life,
they run for one reason and one reason only, the free snacks at the
end of the race. Have you EVER seen a Kenyan running in a race where
there were no snacks at the end? No. See, the poorbastards are just
hungry. You starve yourself until you are 78lbs on a 6'8 frame, put
snacks out, and I guarantee you that you will run for food like you
never ran in your life.

Let me express it how a stupid racist might put it, Dan: No Dan, the
Kenyans don't run for glory, not for recognition, not even for the promise
of a better life. They run for one reason and one reason only, the free
snacks at the end of the race. Have you EVER seen a Kenyan running in a
race where there were no snacks at the end? No. See, the poor [censored] are
just hungry. You starve yourself until you are 78lbs on a 6'8 frame, put
snacks out, and I guarantee you that you will run for food like you never
ran in your life.

(And anyone can use this work as an example of skull-slapping, blind
stupidity WHENEVER they want. Permission is granted. No payment is
needed. I'm proud to be useful in some way.)

Man, that was so funny. It was. You should write for Comedy Central, like
the Colbert Report or something. Really. I mean it. I'm not just saying
that to get on your good side (which is the side where the full moon
shows). You should submit some stuff to somewhere. All you need is a few
pointers on, like, spelling and other unimportant stuff, but you got the
goods, honey.

Thanks, the old-timers here got to read it (or were inflicted with it) some
time ago.

My buddy Larry Gassan (we went on a 12 miler this morning) is also published
in the same issue.

I don't subscribe to M&B but Larry does wonders with a camera.

I remember reading the first 4-5 copies if M&B and only found it a
little better than RW and RT and never subscribed. Your perfect piece
aside, has it improved over the years? Is it evenly balanced between
marathons and ultras?
