Just wondering what everybody thought about Ryan Hall's debut yesterday. It's great to see a guy with so much heart go after it. I think the end quote of the article says it all - "The guy has balls." www.letsrun.com/2007/halldebut2082.php |

I was surprised that he took the lead as early as he did. I thought that he may hang with the lead pack and make a move closer to the finish. Hopefully his performances will inspire more American distance runners.

I thought that was an awesome debut in the marathon.

Excellent debut!! Could be a great future for what seems to be a tough runner. I hope he makes wise choices on the races he chooses to run. If he wants to map out a smart progression he should talk to Steve Jones. My personal pick as one of the all-time great marathoners.

i love how letsrun copied sports illustrated for a day with the "sign of the apocalypse" showing Hall atop the leaderboard at 35km....what a cool shot that was
although i didn't watch the coverage, it is still amazing to think of him being in it for that long- i can't believe this guy ran the 15 and 5 in college....i mean, yea, he was good at it, but i'd take 2:08:24 over just about any other time imaginable, wouldn't you?
i guess that goes with the saying, you never know until you try, or something like that.....congrats to him definitely
