Where Are They?: Braun, Hastings, Torrence, Fernandez, Manzano, Wheating, Bethke, Vaughn, Olinger, Pritz, Rowbury, Areso

Torrence is training in Mexico right now.

Pritz is a classic example as to why people move onto the roads later on in their career - it is because they want the spotlight if they do well but do not want to get ripped apart if they get dropped.

Any other info? >braun usually races a lot and hasn't since the H 1/2.

And the slams on Molly Pritz do nothing to answer the question. They just paint you as a jealous ex-boyfriend. Get over it.........

Most of these people are on twitter. Check that.

German seems to be training somewhat well, but was a little "banged up" recently. There was just a great article on him in this month's Running Times. I think someone posted the link the other day.

Hastings just got an apartment in Providence. There was a poster on someone's twitter the other day with her, Molly Huddle, and Alistair Cragg hanging out.

Wheating tweeted yesterday about finishing a workout with 800s and feeling good.

Pritz just had ankle surgery about a week ago.

Don't know about any of the others.

Had a great fartlek session last night, including some short hill sprints, 400m hill repeats and lots of drills. 48 miles last week. Prolly more like 40ish this week.

Thanks for asking!

The Manzano Mile is coming up, so I'd guess that Leo is back in Austin preparing for that.

Here's the article on German:

Sounds like he's making progress on getting healthy. It will be very interesting to see what he can do this year.

As long as he stays healthy for a stretch. I'm much more interested to see what he can do 2014 - 2016.

Just heard at the local specialty store here in Columbus that Olinger had to have serious foot surgery back in February with Dr. Saxena. He had a broken sesamoid bone that had been missed on imaging for 3 years. The guy helping me out said he had been up in Michigan with Tim Broe trying to rehab before Christmas but nothing was working and he ultimately ended up having surgery to remove the sesamoid. I wonder if he will be able to make it back from the injury? Seemed like he had a lot of promise yet to come on the roads.
