so what the second kid's name?
culp thinks he is better at the 10k than marathon... please
It's hard to believe that if he was going to do Chicago in October, he wouldn't already know that by now. I don't really believe he's "undecided" on which fall marathon to do.
Somewhere buried in that IAAF website story about the Sicily roadrace this weekend, Martin Lel does mention he'll be in NYC.
Culpepper has run 2.09 for the marathon, and 27.30 and change for 10.000. In my book, his 10.000 time is better than his marathon time, and his marathon potential (based on his 10.000 time) should be at the 2:06-2.07 level, and so Culpepper is right when he says he feels better at 10.000 than the marathon.

Here's my complete guess. He was targeting Chicago, but then got diagnosed with an iron deficiency and is now unsure if he'll be fit enough to do Chicago, or if he should adjust his training and target New York. He's running the NY half marathon this weekend to gauge himself and depending on the outcome, he'll make a decision on which race to run.
I think the real questions are: What was Cruz's time in the half mile race? What did he take it out in for the first quarter? Were there any rabbits? Was it a sit and kick style race? Should he skip elementary school and sign with Nike now? Come on! We need to know these things!
He's listed as a 10:24 in the mass wave, mile race. I don't know if he actually ran the half mile or the mile, now that we have conflicting reports/results.
The article sez:
"It will be one of the [World] Marathon Majors in the fall," said Culpepper, who turns 34 next month.
That leaves just New York or Chicago.
Hmmm, what about Berlin? Is it inconceivable that Culpepper would run it? Or is this just a dumb journalist?
No, the journalist is not dumb. You actually think he'd pick Berlin over one of these two U.S. ones? You think they have money left after what they're paying Geb? You think he'd do a September marathon? No.
The 2nd kid's name is Jose. They are going for the whole hispanic thing.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
