Amy Begley opens up the season with a blazing 8:53 3k!!!

I thought she looked very fit, may have dropped a few pounds.

Congrats on the win, but I wouldn't call 8:53 blazing. It was OK.

Yeah, Amy looks thinner and fit

Ummmm.... ever heard of Evan Jager?

What is that Japanese guy wearing as a belt? Electromagnets? Any insight?

Considering all the wind and conditions, it was a VERY solid time.

Exactly what I first noticed, too. I'd say she's dropped 5-10 lbs. Working with a nutritionist?

I guarantee you that Salazar has her on some thyroid medication. You dont all of a sudden loose 10lbs after competing at a high level for two years.

The most suspect of all us elite groups.

Uh, I guarantee you that she didn't lose 10 lbs. You people have absolutely no comprehension of body weight, do you?

Having said that, she most definitely looks slimmer. Let's hope she's doing it the right way (ie still eating).

losing weight isn't like dropping time off your 5k, any f***ing idiot can do it.

it's not a matter of knowing body weight, it's matter of knowing HER. Do any of you dickheads actually know Amy or Andrew? Do you know how small she is? To write 'she's lost 10-15#' is stupid, and ignorant. Look, bitch, she's an awesome runner. deal with you insecurities and be gone.

gawd, sometimes this fu*king list kills me. petulant pricks.
