cutting down on the crap

yesterday i was directed to the blog of a fellow runner and friend, kirk scheibelhut (SHY-BUL-HUT). kirk started the website to accompany what he calls his 'nth comeback to running'. as a side note, he coded the website himself. straight swag.

when kirk is fit he is capable of running very fast, but injuries have been plaguing him since early high school. this may be some of the inspiration for his most recent post regarding the nasty comments posted on the internet about runners who are underperforming based on their personal best times. i'll let him do the talking (link above, great read!).

then this morning i stumble upon something else under YouTube's trending videos. my baseball coach when i was 11,  Doug Jeffries, reports for CKWS news in Kingston. he made a similar plea to kirk's, in the video below. has to make you wonder if Canadians could really raise their game across all sporting events with just a little more positivity.
