Someone reminded me of this the other day. I wrote (and posted) it 2
1/2 years ago when I was bored and kind of tired of the runners versus joggers threads. Enjoy.
Galloway and Daniels
Racers, Runners, Joggers, lend me your HRM's; I come to bury Galloway, not to praise him. The evil
he hath done shall live after him; The good is oft interred with his walking; So let it be with
Galloway. The noble Daniels Hath told us Galloway is a slacker: If it is so, it is a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Galloway answer'd it. Hear, the advice of Daniels and the rest-- For Daniels is
an honorable man; So are they all, all honorable men-- Come I to speak at Galloway's funeral. He was
my Coach, trainer and nice to me: But Daniels says he was a slacker; And Daniels is an honorable
man. He hath coached many to personal records Whose abilities were not obvious: Did this in Galloway
seem like slacking? When that the weak have walked, Galloway hath compassion: Slacking should be
made of sterner stuff: Yet Daniels says he was a slacker; And Daniels is an honorable man. You all
did see that at the marathon I thrice was forced to a walking gait, Which he thrice praised me for:
was this slacking? Yet Daniels says he was a slacker; And, sure, he is an honorable man. I speak not
to disprove what Daniels spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did follow him once,
not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to train like him? O people! thou art slow like
newbie joggers, And USA goes medaless at The Games. Woe is me; My walking methods are in alignment
with Galloway, And I must walk till I can run the entirety.
