That is religious propaganda. I say take it off the blog. He is a great runner, but it doesn't have anything to do with God or Jesus. What is so bad about Ryan Hall running for Ryan Hall? Why does running to be the best have to be related to some religious mumbo jumbo to be OK?
The Halls, the Shays, Josh Cox...a lot of elite American runners are very religious. I don't have a problem with it, and I'm not very religious. In fact, I'm not religious at all. I just like watching them run and learning about their training, and if I have to tune out their talk about religion to do that, then I will. I'm for leaving the the video of Ryan Hall's training run on the blog, but maybe we should have a vote if it's offensive.
I'm not offended. It didn't really have a "religious propaganda" vibe to it, though I was amused that it was put on by God tube (with the t in the shape of a cross -- hee). If "running for god" motivates Ryan Hall, so be it. We all gotta have something to keep us going.
