Dear Kenisa
As you probably already know, the USATF does a poor job promoting our sport, and regrettably, it has lost it's collective mind. It would seem it is more important to ban headphones to improve runner safety on the USATF sanctioned road events, and the even more autovehicularly-free track, than it is to come up with a way to really market our beloved sport.
Ken, would you please consider coming to Eugene and running the 2 mile for a US all-comers record wearing an i-Pod strapped to your arm? You pick the tune and keep us in suspense as to what you're playing.
Your running at Eugene, at an IAAF event, and I suppose a sort of USATF event (not really up to speed on the sanctioning for this event), would be very helpful in promoting running in the US, and it would be rebellious and heroic while demonstrating to USATF to silliness of their ruling.
Hope to see you in Eugene.
