Why I Retired

At a certain point I knew I was going to have to give up posting even if I didn't like to think about that moment. At first I was contemplating doing it when FVCK track attacked me on penntrack. That was a thought derived from anger, however, not true disatisfaction with posting in general. Plus, that was no way to finish my career, swallowed up in abuse.

I thought after I graduated high school would have been a logical place to give it up but I couldn't resist going back every day to penntrack and posting. Ironically, at my graduation I saw Scott Armstrong in the crowd, a person who I never would have met if not for my double life as etrain. So again I put my retirement on hold.

But last night as I was laying in bed it hit me that I was not in love with penntrack posting anymore. I can honestly say I hadn't been on penntrack in a week at the time which, for me, is a lot. I hadn't been making etrain status updates at all. I was failing in my production of the Oscars which I had had such high hopes for. I knew I wasn't doing the job I needed to as etrain, and I didn't want to retire as an out of touch hanger on. Besides I have overstayed my welcome. I am in college now and penntrack is a high school stat. I never liked when the college freshman came back to my senior prom and I think what I'm doing is similar.

So as I leave penntrack now I still see many quality posters left and the forums are doing better than they have in the past. The oscar nominees alone proved that there are plenty of capable posters left online including runthrowjump who I had the pleasure of meeting at a track meet. The passion these posters have is just as great as mine was.

I'm going to miss being etrain. I have a lot of fond memories thanks to my posting. I once checked in at a track meet and some coach asked me, "Aren't you one of those penntrack posters?" It was one of the best days ever.

But I am still etrain. I still plan to follow the sport only in a different way. I plan to still maintain my fan page and this blog and if my supporters or fans need something from me they will be able to find me.

I am sorry to anyone who in the past I may have creeped out such as Chris Trimble the first time I meet you in Born to Run when you sold me shoes.

Everyone has made me feel very special for just being a glorified nerd who loves track and I can't thank the trainstation enough for being supportive and kind and interested. I have nothing but fond memories.

I will still be accepting signatures on the box as long as people still ask me to sign their coloring books.

Keep penntrack strong, I am now the past and you are the future.

In this game of track and field you can call me Mel Kiper.

Sincerely,
Jarrett Felix

Lyrics
Last name train, first name e,
Homie when I post, even my haters agree,
PA’s got the talent, I’m just tryna rep it,
Got plenty of stars so take the gold and prep it,
So go and get your water bottles ready, fill ‘em,
A new style every race, thrill ‘em,
All the meet promoters wanna land us, bill ‘em,
Man we treat our runs like they insects, kill ‘em,
Had a bad day, the track is my distraction,
The pain feels good unlike my wisdom teeth extraction,
Getting excited makes my heart race, track pun,
Everybodys gotta name, call me etrain one one,
Feel all the wind, its cause we came by,
Step out on the track, we no penguins cuz we gonna fly,
Just ask Brady Gehret how good is a runner’s high,
Indoor, outdoor, man we runnin’ July,
Wise guy,
Chorus
Hatin on my sport man, etrain I’m a poster,
Ain’t no question, I’m about to toast ya,
That’s how running goes,
Big base, quick pace,
Sat back then I took it like Matt Fischer’s race,
We go hard, now you broke like Gil’s toes,
Hit with Sara’s kick, Katie’s elbows,
Runners look so hot, soccer’s not,
That’s why everybody’s got pictures with Bernard Lagat,
We Fernandez perfect splits like a robot,
Yo McGrath stop pretending you just got shot,
Dang, I’m on fire like Wade Endress hair,
Spending all my time at the track like an evil lair,
I’m like Paige Stoner because I make the other girls all stare,
Homie you know we dominate cuz we frickin grew a pair,
Runners, we like it rough,
Ladies we can go all day, Aisling Cuffe,
Yea we were born to run like that Mexican tribe,
Just look it up on penntrack playa and subscribe,
We gonna be the greatest, there’s no if just when,
Yea I mean I’m kind of a pretty big deal, North Penn,
Dang my beats are killin it, man we are so stellar,
But I gotta finish this, I’m out of breath, Will Kellar,
Chorus
Cross training and biking, jogging, hiking,
The only way to do it is fast like I’m on Viking,
My form is so striking, girls seem to be liking,
Run to close too me and I guess I will be spiking,
And I will never stop, til I’m at the tippy top,
Homie take it out hard, I ain’t gonna frickin’ drop,
All you haters may have to take back your posts, flip flop,
Listen to the beat pop, be closer, seat swap,
We never be second, Logan Steiner,
That’s why when we leave ladies upset, Lindsey Rheiner,
We so perfect, they dreamin, and they need a pinch,
Homie we come out in beast mode, Marshawn Lynch,
Sport’s like Drake, Best I ever had,
Got girls thinking about increasing their Miles, Brad,
Man got my track stats to consult,
Gotta make like Usain and Bolt,
Chorus
There they go, packin stadiums for the last four by four,
Applause grow, How fast will they run, Brown, Cheltenham who knows,
Etrain, jport, not track bozos,
We got a sweep like it’s the U of Os,
Dang Bro, What a show,
Eminem and I twins, Jim and Joe,
Homie we got such a huge crew, and I ain’t talkin’ bout boy’s who row,
They been waiting patiently for Mallon’s 800 to drop this low,
Barriers never touched before,
1:49 and still can drop some more,
The man doesn’t just shine he glow,
Makes small fans stand on tippy toe,
Man is a regular Galen Rupp,
Fans Vuvuzela’s, World Cup,
I swear stuff must be staring at Sam Ellison, cuz things are lookin up,
I just go where there will be a show,
Indoor track if there’s too much snow,
Whether pros or joes, I Got money to blow,
These tickets are like my Christmas like ho, ho, ho,
Homie nobody can announce a race like the guys from flotrack,
And nothing ever could give me more fear, when Andrews appears too close on your back,
When he gears up for a final attack,
Holy crap, that kick is whack,
Wheating just as stunned as all my fans,
When I laid down such a sick track, talk smack
Chorus
