Bob, this 16 mile training run of which you speak... was it free?
YES. You can run with the Hansons every Sunday. They have several 16 mile runs with miles marked and free fruit and bagels and gatorade. Access to Sell and the pro's is rather simple in our area.
I bet those were all just easy mileage. He has become a weekend warrior so he is just running those miles for fun with no intention of racing.

He just posted 114, 130, 129, and 136 miles the last 4 weeks on athleticore.com so he seems to be back to me.

Is Sell injured? Why didn't he run in Chicago with most of the Hanson team?
I believe I read somewhere that the focus this year would be on the OlyTrials and the OlyTrials only. He took some down time early in the year and is rebuilding mileage now.
I would guess that you will see him pop up in a couple of things as we get into Spring/Summer (25k Championships, etc), but everything geared toward November.
Then again, I could be wrong...
Whey didn't he run in Chicago? Who knows? Doesn't look like Luke Humphrey ran either...
Yes, he's definitely a weekend warrior. I checked his log and last week he did run 136 miles, but it was a slow and easy 70 miler on Saturday and a 66 mile Fartlek on Sunday.
Access to the pro's is easy? I would love to have access to Kyle Obrien simply because i had a friend see him in the shower...and, well you can take it from there.
And you thought my bat was big and dirty. . .
About three weeks ago, I could have sworn I saw him wearing his orange Home Depot apron while riding his 10 speed bicycle down Rochester Road. It was kind of cold and he kept shaking his fist at cars who got too close to him. He looked frantic and was muttering a bunch of gibberish. If I didn't know who it was, I would have thought he was some mental dude who got loose.
It's too bad because he had a lot of talent. I think dealing with all of those do-it-yourselfer's on the weekends must have gotten to him. Sad, really.
I have Kyle's email if you would like to find out for yourself.

Well, "with" is a bit of a misnomer. On the same course at the same time? Yes.
Well, I didn't race because I'm just not very good. I did go over and feed Brian's dog and let him crap in the neighbor's yard, though.
He's put on some weight these days.
He is running.
Kyle Obrien is the Jasmine in my eye....
