Where Your Dreams Become Reality

Quote of the Day:
 
"It seems fair that the person who trains hardest is the best in the world but it doesn't work that way. The person who trains the smartest is the best. I'd happily train 24/7 but your body can't take more than three or four hours of intense training a day."

-Australian hurdler Jana Pittman Rawlinson who thinks the birth of her baby will make her faster

Gate River Run: 6 for 6 for Meb, One for the Thumb for Deena
*Results *Video from Gate River Run

There is a reason these two got Olympic medals in Athens, they are damn good. Deena Kastor put on an exhibition in winning her fifth Gate River Run in 47:20 just missing her American Record. And just as everyone predicted (ha ha right), Meb Keflezighi defeated Ryan  Hall in a relatively modest 43:39 with Hall about 15 seconds behind.

LetsRun.com Preview  Ryan Hall Returns to Racing, Hall Vs Meb Round II It should be a barn burner down in Jacksonville as many expect Todd Williams venerable 15k American record to fall. Meb's string of 5 victories in Jacksonville is on the line. Deena Kastor has set American records in 2 of her 4 Gate victories and is heavily favored for her fifth title but could be challenged by Jen Rhines. Plus for the first time ever, JK gives his prediction and Rojo admits to a man crush on Ryan Hall.

*Individual results
*Team Results
Kipyego dominated the individual field and the Cardinal repeated, but just narrowly over Colorado, as the Cardinal scored 195 points, the highest ever for a winning team (that total on the men's side would have been 2 points from 7th). Mark Wetmore almost did the unthinkable again (with a squad that was only 6th at PreNCAAs), leave Terre Haute with 2 titles, but the Buffaloes' 5th runner finished 165th.

A Legend Passes: "I don't train never have. I don't think of running as training. I just go out and run each day, and let the racing take care of itself"- Jack Foster of New Zealand, who ran a 2:11:17 marathon at the age of 41 to win silver at the Commonwealth Games in 1974. He died in a bike accident yesterday at the age of 72.

Part I he
re, Part II here, Part III here
Also take a look at Amby Burfoot's look at Todd Williams' incredible American record at 15k in 1995, the same year he finished 9th at World Cross Country.

More isn't always better:
"I had over-trained. I put too much pressure on myself because I wanted that gold medal too much. If I had trained 15 per cent less, I would have won. I was training like a crazy person. There was a lack of self-confidence and a lack of maturity. An athlete does not only train with his body. He trains with his mind."

LetsRun.com Book Reviews 2 Good Reads on Milers 50 years apart:
Sub 4:00 and The Perfect Mile

"Paul Maurer, in The Gift, not only presents an interesting and captivating story, but he explores the deeper questions of why runners run, why we compete, and what makes such a simple sport, running, so rewarding to those of us who do it. The Gift is one of the best running books I have ever read. "
-LetsRun.com's Weldon Johnson on a new Running novel,
The Gift
(The Gift is now available from Amazon.com)

Paul Tergat
*"As the holy scriptures say, 'for whoever much is given, much is expected,' it is, therefore, my duty and privilege to help in any small way in giving back to society."
-Marathon world record holder, Paul Tergat, speaking after founding a sports foundation that will help disadvantaged youths.
*Tergat's hamstring injury has healed and he says he's ready to go at NYC: "I expect good results as I am in good shape" but he's out of next week's Half Marathon in Britain, but interestingly Gezahegne Abera (remember him, formerly the greatest marathoner in the world) is running. www.registerguard.com

Best Running Movie of All-Time: Fire on the Track
After sitting on the results for months, we're proud to announce that the best running movie of all-time as selected by our viewers is a not an academy award winner, Chariots of Fire, or a highly publicized film produced by Tom Cruise (Without Limits), but rather a running documentary, Fire on the Track: The Steve Prefontaine Story. Read all about the voting and see the 10 best running movies of all-time as selected by our viewers.

"Everybody in Kenya is trying to come to America. I had no dream about coming because I knew this was impossible. It was a miracle," Kiplagat said. "That is why I take advantage of every opportunity. I came here, graduated in three years, and count myself blessed"- Richard Kiplagat who graduated from Iona in 3 years and had a 3.75 GPA

"This is not coming out of retirement, this is just me showing that if you just enjoy what you are doing and stay in there and set little goals. I do a lot of speaking, I've spoken to every group in Australia and I tell them back when I ran I set little goals and I think here I am telling these guys, but I've got to do it myself and tonight was really a chance to walk the walk"
-Steve Moneghetti, who at age 43, broke the world best for the 1 hour run for master's, averaging sub 5 minute pace the whole way as Ron Clarke, John Landy, and Robert De Castella watched him run.

It seemed to good to be true. The meet on live on the internet. But here it is on ESPN360. So once again we give you a way to be unproductive at work. Arizona State is a slight favorite on the women's side while a 3 way battle is expected between Wisconsin, Fl. State, and Texas on the men's side (rankings here). Much could depend on the abilities of Leo Manzano to double in the Mile and DMR and  Wisconsin's Chris Solinsky to double in the 3k and 5k.

LA: Fred Mogaka Only Runs 2:17 but Wins $120,000 at LA Marathon
Yes ladies and gentleman 2:17 was worth $120,000 in LA. That's what happens when you get hot weather, don't pay your bills on time from the year before, and have most of the money given away in a gimmick. Mogaka's agent only got him to run the race this week when the Equalizer Bonus was bumped to $100,000. Mogaka told his agent he was not in shape to win the race an in reality he was right. They were running 6 minute miles at the end. The Equalizer races may raise interest in the sport but there is no reason that the prize ($100,000) has to be 5 times the 1st place prize in the race ($20,000). Hopefully Mogaka will get paid. We still can't believe all the LA papers have skirted the issue of the race not paying its prize money from last year until just a few weeks before this year's race. Instead they write articles like this.

But in 2006, he only finished 2nd in the richest road race in Americam, the World's Best 10k ($15,000). He rectified that on Sunday by winning in Puerto Rico and picking up $25,000 to start the year. He was 8 seconds off of a $15,000 bonus. The guy might be the most overlooked runner in the world.
