What are Amy Hastings and Cragg up to? What does the MTC do when it snows 14 feet in a weekend?

I *think* Hastings is running the Houston Marathon.. At least that's what the MTC website says although it hasn't been updated in ages. No idea about Cragg-saw him and Ms Uceny in Vegas over Xmas. I assume he's marathon training?
They travel to Bishop, about an hour away when there's too much snow

I would be interested to know this too
Cragg did 16 miles with Meb on Sunday, according to Meb's twitter. That offers no insight into his racing plans, but a little into his training.
This is the laziest group with great sponsorship support ever. People give Salazaar a hard time, but he is out trying to find some of the most competitive races in the world. Meanwhile, these groups with all this support and full guaranteed contracts never race unles they're "using it for a workout" or it is an easy race. Anybody else remember when Cragg was a ballsy racer under McDonnel?
are you referring to the same Cragg who fails to finish track races at a greater rate than Paris Hilton changes boyfriends?

If by ballsy you mean injury ridden? McDonnell ran him into the ground. I don't agree with Mammoth's racing plans sometimes but at least Cragg has managed to stay relatively injury free under Mahon.
DNF are a problem with the athlete not the coach. Cragg's are obviously emotional/psychological and not physical. That's not something a coach can fix and it's not easy to do either.

did you see him at the fifth avenue mile? obviously not ballsy anymore...
Cragg is running the Arizona half this weekend
Hastings was down to run the Houston marathon but after a poor showing in the Vegas half I doubt she will run it.
Cragg is running a half in Arizona this Sunday. I assume he will run a full marathon in the next few weeks. My guess one of the RNR, either New Orleans or Dallas
Yeah, I remember Cragg very well from his Razorback days. He didn't have any fear then. Of course, the competition wasn't as strong. As a pro, he's doesn't have many opportunities to gain confidence like he did when he was crushing guys from Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Auburn, etc. No one in the SEC challenged him, and no one really challenged him his senior year at 3000 or 5000. He could have won the 10 if he'd wanted to, but let Lincoln take it, as I recall.
They go to San Dieg when it snows heavy as far as I know. Hasting is running the LA marathon and Cragg is running the NY half and then an as yet unnanounced marathon
