The one question that sadly popped into my head on my first day back after a month long paternity break was this, "Will anyone from the Alberto Salazar camp or Jama Aden camp be sanctioned in 2018?" That was literally the biggest idea that popped into my head.

Shocker

Small time current sophomore from east coast has huge breakout at nike southeast regional. Remember this.

Coming back on...NY dad?

Maybe that coachJS will get his definitely breakthrough this year. Interesting case. And still there are some

dudes that think he is just a troll.

Unknown runner wins Dubai with a WR

Kipchoge loses a marathon

Hasay wins Boston

Cross country added to Winter Olympics as an exhibition sport

NCAA XC championship even more boring than last year

Jordan Hasay American record half-marathon

Jamin will break 15 in the 5k.

Breaking2 part 2

Clayton Murphy will break the AR in the 800, and take over as top US 1500 runner. But TPB at Letsrun and the sheeple will ignore him and blather on about Brazier (a nice kid) and his "...awesome potential". Aden and his ilk will continue to get away with cheating while Salazar's group will hounded, nothing will be found, and the usual suspects will be PC to the hilt ignoring the Adens of the world, never mind the Rosas, Hermens, and others.

Several more runners will use the tainted meat excuse to cover up their drug use (thank you Johnny Gray for telling it like it is). And they'll get away with it if they "fit" certain specifications that TPB in the US like to push on the public for reasons that have nothing to do with sport.

Guye Adole breaks marathon world record in 2:02:48

You heard it here first

But when you talk about yourself in the third person with a fake username, it's hard to take you seriously.

I'm so jealous that you beat me to saying this.

But by the end of 2018, Kenenisa Bekele will have the marathon world record.

Arne Gabius and Galen Rupp run sub-2:07.

Emma Coburn runs sub-9.

Russia will get re-instated as able to compete. (Not sure how I feel about this, but it'll probably happen.)

New men's triple jump world record (Christian Taylor).

New men's high jump world record.

New women's high jump world record (Maria Latsiskene).

Asbel Kiprop retires, Elijah Manangoi runs 3:26.87, but Hicham's WR lives on.

Happy New Year Rojo. I'm honored to start the new year on letsrun with you. Maybe I can be the babies god mother hehe. I literally think Bekele will run the world record. It will be the biggest story. He will be evan more famous having 5k, 10k and marathon world records at the same time. I'm so glad that 2017 is over. He had a sad year but this year will keep the hater's quite. In other news, I think Mo, Adola and Ayana will be the most interesting to see. Mo done a marathon, and Ayana getting maybe literally another world record. I don't think Rupp will do anything interesting this year. Another boring race. Maybe Salazar will finally be catched. I mostly look forward to a big marathon year. There will be a THON of surprises hehe(that was a witty pun). I also look forward to been friends with every one on letsrun.

800m W: New world record from Caster Semenya

5000m W: New world record. Maybe from Helen Obiri, Ayana or Genzebe Dibaba.

5000m, 10000m M: Kejelcha will be the new track sensation.

London Marathon: Kipchoge will lose first marathon in a long time. New WR by Bekele. Dibaba will win london (is she is running)

Boston Marathon: Rupp is winning in low tactical race. Fastest American runner finisher will be Molly Huddle.

Tokyo Marathon: Kipsang will win another major marathon

Only will happen if he ask coachJS to coach him.

Emily Sisson wins the women’s 10k with an AR and gets top 3 in a WMM, dethroning Huddle

2018: Steelers get #7, Big Ben says one more year, then goodbye.

Bosse comes back after the assault and runs an 800 in 1:41 on pure hate.

Mananganoi and C. Murphy clipped at the line at random diamond league race by J. Ingebrigtsen who runs a 3:33 @17 yrs old.

Crowd goes crazy.

Drug testing improves. No marathon time below 2:08 in 2018.

Killian Jornet comes in 3rd place in London marathon in 2:10.
