Hey,

I've heard about Kennedy's road to the comeback trail, but have to question his optimism. As much as I like him, I don't how much of a good base he could have after being injury riddled for 2 years. I'd figure his best luck would've been off of those 13:00 5k years. Plus, isn't he past his prime? In my opinion, he doesn't have much of a future left on the track. To be a contender in the 10k, he should at least be able to break the AR, but I don't even think he can run under 27:30. Maybe the marathon. What are your thoughts?

Carlos Lopes won an Olympic Marathon gold medal at age 37 and set a world best at 38, so I think age is not the only factor in success. You are right that Bob has struggled for a couple years, but don't count a talent like him out. He may not be a contender in the Olympics, but he could be at 85% of his best and still make our Olympic team. I don't know if Bob has ever seriously considered the marathon, but that may be something to do for the next Olympics if he is still competing. He might be able to make our team then, though over the hill so to speak, if his heart is into it.
