The Kip Litton thread isn't just a string of bumps, it's discussion. If you want to keep this thing on the front page, discuss something or let it go and just send an email to someone at LRC. Or, as was suggested earlier, find Wejo at a meet and ask him in person. They probably have seen this and no response might be their response, but there have been many threads over the years where someone assumed another person saw the thread and they hadn't. Anybody remember when that guy was pissed at Nobby for not responding to a certain thread but the guy didn't bother to email or call him?
Bobby is listed as unattached for today's meet at NC State so I'm assuming the letsrun.com jersey is not going to make an appearance.
He's just rabbitting for Hill.
It is starting to be embarrassing for the brothers.
Which brothers? Macks or Johnsons?
Bobby Mack paced (dropped at 1200 meters) Ryan Hill to an NCSU and track 1500m record of 3:39.xx. Mack generated a lot of excitement, introduced as winning several races as a pro and a blue-collar runner. He was also introduced as being unattached. It definitely would have been cool to hear him being introduced as running for Letsrun. Also, Letsrun couldn't pick a better guy to represent them.
Mack also cruised a local 10K the day before to win his 4th consectutive Capital City Classic. Local Hero...Mack for Mayor!
I emailed this thread to the brothers. Wejo emailed me back saying they have emailed Bobby Mack and are trying to touch base on the phone. Hopefully they can work something out.
Bobby has turned down sponsorship because it required changing locations. He will run unattached for life. Even Ritz had to move to maintain his sponsorship.
Not really a good comparison. Of course Ritz relocated or else he'd be out of whatever 6 figure deal he's on. It is much easier for guys to relocate out of college. Mack is 5 years out of college, why relocate for dorm living and free gear...that's a little different than a mega Ritz Nike deal. Just sayin
Where would the Brosjos want Mack to move?
He's got a good shot at another US title in the road mile tonight in Minneapolis.
How awesome would it be to see him in a LetsRun singlet tonight
Is Bobby Mack unemployed or does he run on top of a full time job?

Does that change whether or not he qualifies as a blue collar runner?
Full-time job. Running store assistant manager.
Keep this thread alive.
Yeah, I don't get it? Why would a deal involve relocation?
A deal with LetsRun wouldn't. A big time deal with some shoe company might. Nike feels a lot better when they can keep a close eye on their investment.
To Ithaca so he could be coached by their running guru.
lol are they ignoring this? Just blow the dust off your wallets, send him some gear and be done with it.
