    Really should they be parents?

    fun.

    a 90 min nap at mile 20 is a great idea

    This is a total disgrace.

    What next, baby Olympics?
    We need to stamp this out before it's too late.

    Have you heard that gullible is due to be removed from the next edition of the Oxford English Dictionary?

    I don't know - convinced my three ran marathons regularly before they were born (certainly felt like it judging by the activity in there sometimes :rolleyes:)

    Very good:
    "Certainly, Jayden is an exceptional athlete with tremendous potential," said Richard Cunningham, M.D., chief of pediatrics at Milwaukee General Hospital.

    That's some pace for a 1 yr old, 21:32/mile.

    Cut out the nappy changes and she'll go sub 8 next year easily.

    Cutting out the nappy changes could lead to more of a problem with chaffing - not sure bodyglide would be enough ......
