God knows.
So his love of money is greater than his love of country?

Suggest you tune in for the show on Nov. 1.
He runs instead of working a 9-5 job like yourself. Running is his job. He competed for his country at the Olympics last year. Why do you think that Abel Kirui won the marathon? Because none of the top-echelon elites ran. Geb wasn't there. Wanjiru wasn't there. Hall is obviously getting an incredible payday running NYC, as he should. Right now he is the most marketable American distance runner. Let him earn a living before we judge him. I don't see you quitting your job to train for Worlds. Does that mean that your love of money is greater than your love for your country?

I guess you would know since you've had so many paydays with that sub-15 2-mile time?
So his house would be foreclosed on and his car repossessed and he and his wife would go hungry if he didn't run NYCM? He doesn't earn a living from Asics?

Kirui has a faster PB than Wanjiru. I would call him top-echelon.
