Anybody who has ever had mono knows the symptoms are obvious. I had it three times, the first time, I lost weight (17 lbs), very sore throat, and you feel like garbage. The symptoms are unmistakeable. The other two times I had the same, but the sore throat was not as bad.

I thought you could only get mono once. Were your occurrences close together?

Good article letsrun.

Thanks

Painful hover-hand in that picture with Aislen Ryan...

I really am not able to understand how he continues to harbor resentment to nurse practicioneer so many years after misdiagnosis. It is soooo unhealthy.

I'm betting Kenny could have saved himself a lot of time if, instead of enlisting in the Marines when he quit running, he told his dad to f*ck off. Based on some of his dad's quotes, I bet he was responsible for a lot of Kenny's pent-up rage.

I know his dad...Seems like a great guy, and strong as an ox in his late 60's. I've seen him repping with 235 in the bench. You probably won't find anyone in Douglas talking shit about Ken Cormier.

I hope I'm wrong. It was a hunch I had. My dad made running an absolute nightmare for me and quotes from Ken's dad reminded me of him. Mr. Cormier may be a stand-up guy. As I mentioned, I hope my amateur analysis is wrong. I have known people who are beloved in the community, however, and treat their families despicably. As the saying goes, you only hurt the ones you love.

Really enjoyed this article.

Well done....for once

Who?

This was an interesting article.

Who would have thought that a guy who ramped up from being a sprinter to 100+mi/wk in 2 years would have encountered injury and health issues. Then after those health issues knocked him down hard, he continued to train hard making matters worse. Then after a fallout with his college coach, an unhealthy and depressed athlete decides to quit. Never would have seen that coming.

Good for him if he is happy with his decision and his current life.

here's the other champ, aislinn.

I hope they de-programmed the kid back into a regular American boy. We don't want Kenny loose in public, choking, stabbing, and pummeling people like Marines do in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We mostly just shoot the enemy; but that other stuff is not out of the question should the need arise.

Great article. Sounds like a good guy.

Yeah sounds like a really great guy.

Why'd the Marine Corpse let crazy Kenny out? Marine assasination teams are in Syria killing ISIL generals and trailing Snow Leopard, Spetznas, and Quds Force advisors. Kenny is needed there.

Please keep it up, and practice on Tae Kwon Dumb.

Unfortunately it does not work that way. Tae Kwon Douche is one of those we actually are tasked to defend from the scum bags that would remove his head from his shoulders without so much as a second thought.

Luckily Tae Kwon Douche is a minority voice of the leftist liberal fringe.

You are welcome for your freedom of speech..Tae Kwon Douche. I give you that freedom.

DOD Guy Out.

The problem is the USMC is not decomissioning ex-marines prior to showing them the door. The USMC does not assign ex-marines to psychological seminars, and Kumbayah outings to stand down ex-marines from years of near death experiences in war and continuous frightening and tortuous marine training. Plus there is no pro-active psychological program to help ex-marines in the newly revamped VA. Instead the VA is handing ex-marines in a lazzaise-fair manner leaving the American public in jeopardy.
