Where Your Dreams Become Reality

Quote of the Day:
"Sanders makes no apologies for being a 'nice' ... girl.. who just loves to run. No studs or jewellery in unlikely places, no saucy tattoos, ridiculous hairdos or lycra running gear borrowed from an Ann Summers demonstration evening, and no pressing and unattractive desire to hog the camera and audition for a media career. What you see is what you get - low key, dedicated and very tough, despite her slender nine-stone frame."

-Daily Telegraph article on Nicola Sanders who ran the 5th fastest (50.02) indoor 400 to win the European indoor title.

USATF World XC Team Announced, US Not Sending a Full Men's Team to Worlds For the first time that we can remember the US is not sending a full team to a World Championship. As expected the top 4 guys turned down their spots. A bit more surprising was that James Carney turned down the chance to represent the US for the first time. Hate for it to be his only chance. (Ed Torres represented the US in 2003, earlier we had said he was skipping his 1st team as well)

59:43 for RYAN HALL
Yep, sub 1 hour in the half marathon for an American on American soil on a certified course. One of the

Kipyego dominated the individual field and the Cardinal repeated, but just narrowly over Colorado, as the Cardinal scored 195 points, the highest ever for a winning team (that total on the men's side would have been 2 points from 7th).

A Legend Passes: "I don't train never have. I don't think of running as training. I just go out and run each day, and let the racing take care of itself"- Jack Foster of New Zealand, who ran a 2:11:17 marathon at the age of 41 to win silver at the Commonwealth Games in 1974. He died in a bike accident yesterday at the age of 72.

Part I he
re, Part II here, Part III here
Also take a look at Amby Burfoot's look at Todd Williams' incredible American record at 15k in 1995, the same year he finished 9th at World Cross Country.

More isn't always better:
"I had over-trained. I put too much pressure on myself because I wanted that gold medal too much. If I had trained 15 per cent less, I would have won. I was training like a crazy person. There was a lack of self-confidence and a lack of maturity. An athlete does not only train with his body. He trains with his mind."

LetsRun.com Book Reviews 2 Good Reads on Milers 50 years apart:
Sub 4:00 and The Perfect Mile

"Paul Maurer, in The Gift, not only presents an interesting and captivating story, but he explores the deeper questions of why runners run, why we compete, and what makes such a simple sport, running, so rewarding to those of us who do it. The Gift is one of the best running books I have ever read. "
-LetsRun.com's Weldon Johnson on a new Running novel,
The Gift
(The Gift is now available from Amazon.com)

Paul Tergat
*"As the holy scriptures say, 'for whoever much is given, much is expected,' it is, therefore, my duty and privilege to help in any small way in giving back to society."
-Marathon world record holder, Paul Tergat, speaking after founding a sports foundation that will help disadvantaged youths.
*Tergat's hamstring injury has healed and he says he's ready to go at NYC: "I expect good results as I am in good shape" but he's out of next week's Half Marathon in Britain, but interestingly Gezahegne Abera (remember him, formerly the greatest marathoner in the world) is running. www.registerguard.com

Best Running Movie of All-Time: Fire on the Track
After sitting on the results for months, we're proud to announce that the best running movie of all-time as selected by our viewers is a not an academy award winner, Chariots of Fire, or a highly publicized film produced by Tom Cruise (Without Limits), but rather a running documentary, Fire on the Track: The Steve Prefontaine Story. Read all about the voting and see the 10 best running movies of all-time as selected by our viewers.

"Everybody in Kenya is trying to come to America. I had no dream about coming because I knew this was impossible. It was a miracle," Kiplagat said. "That is why I take advantage of every opportunity. I came here, graduated in three years, and count myself blessed"- Richard Kiplagat who graduated from Iona in 3 years and had a 3.75 GPA

"This is not coming out of retirement, this is just me showing that if you just enjoy what you are doing and stay in there and set little goals. I do a lot of speaking, I've spoken to every group in Australia and I tell them back when I ran I set little goals and I think here I am telling these guys, but I've got to do it myself and tonight was really a chance to walk the walk"
-Steve Moneghetti, who at age 43, broke the world best for the 1 hour run for master's, averaging sub 5 minute pace the whole way as Ron Clarke, John Landy, and Robert De Castella watched him run.

"

LA: Fred Mogaka Only Runs 2:17 but Wins $120,000 at LA Marathon
Yes ladies and gentleman 2:17 was worth $120,000 in LA. That's what happens when you get hot weather, don't pay your bills on time from the year before, and have most of the money given away in a gimmick. Mogaka's agent only got him to run the race this week when the Equalizer Bonus was bumped to $100,000. Mogaka told his agent he was not in shape to win the race an in reality he was right. They were running 6 minute miles at the end. The Equalizer races may raise interest in the sport but there is no reason that the prize ($100,000) has to be 5 times the 1st place prize in the race ($20,000). Hopefully Mogaka will get paid. We still can't believe all the LA papers have skirted the issue of the race not paying its prize money from last year until just a few weeks before this year's race. Instead they write articles like this.

In 2006, he won Cherry Blossom ($6,000) , Bay to Breakers ($37,000 thanks to the totally disproportionate equalizier bonus and $5000 for being 1st over a hill), Bloomsday ($7,000), Crescent City ($5,000), Vancouver Sun Run ($3,000), and Falmouth ($10,000). But in 2006, he only finished 2nd in the richest road race in Americam, the World's Best 10k ($15,000). He rectified that on Sunday by winning in Puerto Rico and picking up $25,000 to start the year. He was 8 seconds off of a $15,000 bonus. The guy might be the most overlooked runner in the world.
