It seems Amy moved to Portland awhile ago, and now she appears to be training with Shalane. Was that just an altitude trip to Flagstaff together, or have they become training partners? Did Amy leave Ray Tracy when she left Providence?

She and her husband are indeed living in Portland. She's been training with Shalane and the other Bowerman gals quite a bit, although she is still a Brooks sponsored athlete. My understanding is that she's been training without a coach for a while now.
Will she try for the marathon team or the 10k?
I hope the 10k then follows that with trying to win the berlin marathon.
What does the Olympic marathon do for her? 15th at best and ruins her fall race. I only say this because Americans not named me typically choke at the olympics.
At the end, Shalane mentions they ran as Jerry wanted them to, so possible Jerry is now coaching Amy as well.

Damn, I thought meb was posting for a second there.
Amy won't make the team again and will start crying at mile 24 AGAIN.

Wow, you're a really nice person, I bet you have a lot of friends :)

She then came back and made the Olympic Team in the 10,000. I'd say that's pretty damn impressive. I'm rooting for her to make the team. She may not have the same PRs as Linden or Flanagan but I admire her tenacity.
So if Amy Hastings Cragg is now in Portland with a new coach, what does her husband do?
Is he a coach?
Has he stopped running?
He had a hard time finishing ... I wonder if he's OK now.
He was running with another guy on the Hollister Trail last week. They were moving at a solid clip. He looked like he was fit.

I don't know the guy, but I heard he has a hard time getting along with people (Coaches). This was the reason for the Portland move.
Anyone know if this is true?
I can't imagine Brooks is too pleased with her move to Nike-land....

Nor Nike if Jerry is coaching a Brooks athlete. Assuming that is a no-no?
Something is really strange with this situation. Amy moving to Portland so close to the Olympic trials seems rather odd. Why leave Ray Tracy like this? Or was she kicked off the team in Providence?

Pheobe Wright (Nike) trains with Danny Mackey and Brooks Beasts. Brooks and Nike are both seemingly cool with that.
Why would Amy Cragg (Brooks) train with Jerry and Nike Bowerman TC be a problem?

Don't hold your breath for an "I was wrong". Blowhards like CFL are a dime a dozen here. Quick to negativity, and extremely slow to admit their idiocy.
