Some recent tweets:
"@madahlin I think that it'll just be you and Amy as I will be running and getting some treatment."
"Not my greatest day!! Hopefully some time will make it better......."
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

Anything in the letsrun rumor mill about this? With Dathan in a walking cast and Solinsky injured, could Rupp be America's last best hope?
i hope not
He had some hamstring issue going back to Prefontaine. Wasn't an injury really but he was constantly getting treatment for it and probably still is. He did fine at US champs. I wouldn't read too much into it based on twitter.
Rumor has Bumbalough getting really ready.
Tough year for Solinsky, but to be expected after last years dream season. Schumacher has to figure out who is in what event for his "team" of runners for the Trials.
Teg, Solinsky, Nelson, Vaughn, Bumbalough, Jager all can go 5k/10k.
What a shame to be moving guys just so you cabn have more Olympians than what is their best event.
good point actually

5: bumby, jager
10: solinsky, teg
the others aren't making the team, so whatever they feel like
If Teg and Sol do make team in 10k along with Rupp who is a lock, they'll also come back and run the 5k (add in Lagat as a lock there) and make the team there as well.
And his latest tweet:
"Tough Times Don't Last, But Tough People Do."
His last 4 tweets all sound like he might be struggling with some injury.
??
Bumbis getting ready for the big show. Sol probably gonna take a seat this time around, but it's gonna be a last minute call. It's gotta be, they're not flying to Daegu for a couple days, but I bet Bumbi is now part of that travelling camp.

Yesterday I had to make the hardest decision of my career. I strained my hamstring again during a speed session.
I tried everything to get it ready to be able to compete at worlds, but it was not responding fast enough.

@abumbalough will be taking my place on the 5k team. I am now focusing on getting my leg healthy and getting ready for next year.

Well I guess we can say goodbye to Solinsky then.

If even the slightest bit true, you need to get a bit more going on in your life.
