    Side Note Bernard Lagat is still competing, he Ran The Marathon Trial this year, Looks like Roads only for Lagat, but who knows maybe he runs the 10000 in the Olympic Trials next year if they have it, he might lower his own over age 40 record of 27:49

    Bob Kennedy was great and at his best he would have been 1/2 a straightaway up on a guy who was racing twice the distance.
