Ryan Hall 10-miler this weekend

I don't know the course or how competitive it will be or even the weather. But what other big names are running in it? Is he using it as a tempo or a race or just like a fun run? Thanks!

He will be right around 50:00.

Feel free to look it up...

Ryan will be lucky to finish top 5.

Sara could possibly win.

49:30 for Ryan. Cue hype about "Hall is back baby!"

With good weather, 46:53

Will pace Sara like a good husband. 53:23.

I think he'll DNS or possible DNF. I know it's not a marathon, but it is Ryan Hall.

Will he beat Rtiz's 49:12 from Crim? I say no.

He's a 4:50-5:00 pace kind of guy these days.

I'm a fan of Hall, but I am expecting a 49:xx. If he does break 48 I will be pleasantly surprised as that would be a huge step ahead.

Good hard effort and confidence booster is what this race will be. Good luck Ryan

As much as the enemy wants to keep him down, even going so far as planting a bug in his ear, "you're done", "lay low, that TUE drug you took has entrapped you, we will bust you and ruin your reputation", etc., etc., He nonetheless, is a true champion.

Running is in Hall's blood. He's evidently started coming around, and now it's time to get out and kick the tires again to check the progress.

Be gone, haters.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory. Want to spell out who is 'we'? Who would have the presumption to have such power? Who would stand to gain in such a scenario?

He races it all out and gets AROUND 50:00. But heres the thing he will tell us that it was a 'tempo'. And he is getting 'back in shape'.

Da Silva just ran Army in 48:28, and he is a 2:11 guy. If Hall runs 50:00, I will be diisappointed. I ran Army this year, and, yes, the course is pretty flat, but there were plenty of turns. I cannot imagine Pittsburgh being that much different. Hall should win this race, and I hope he does.

I open my ears for a good conspiracy theory, and so I would also be interested to hear what you have to say.

or he will run poorly and say "it's not what I had hoped for", then reveal an injury and disappear of the face of the planet for the next 6 months when he will pop up and announce he is running a big fall marathon. Two week prior to that he will reveal an injury and the cycle will continue.

Any of you still waiting on your 41st Day items purchased back in 2012? Is it time to write them off as a lesson learned about dealing with disreputable people?
