AM - 10 miles. Originally planned on going to Jeremy Ranch today for something a little longer, but nixed that plan last night. I don't want to get too greedy. My "target" summer race is TOU 1/2, but the Draper/Des News double is also very important, so I didn't want to push my luck and risk aggravating the hamstring after back to back quality days. Kept the pace slow and the course very flat this morning. The bonus is that I got to run FOUR MILES with Andrea!!! :-)

Came back and saw the news about Tyson Gay. Makes me sad. I've always really like him. Man, is anyone doing this clean? I doubt it will happen, but eventually one of these guys needs to totally come clean, name names, and blow up the whole infrastructure of cheating.

PM - 4 miles w/ Andrea (bike).

Jose Canseco did that in baseball and was dismissed as a crank and blackballed from the game forever.

I almost joined you guys up at Jeremy Ranch but I'm a little too creaky today. Walked and played baseball with Andy instead.

And that's why it will probably never happen.

I'm going to come over w/ the test shoes this afternoon if you have a few minutes. I'll give you a call in a while.

we have always seen the sprinting scene be the bad bearer of news...wonder when the distance scene comes to fruition. Very sad news as Tyson is a class act. Very sad the pressure these guys feel. It's in all sports. No bueno...

He put up the front of a "class act". If he cheated, which appears to be the case, that was all a lie.

I always thought he was one of the guys who actually might be doing it the right way. Another one who fooled me. And I'm pretty skeptical!

So what are the odds that Bolt isn't doping. He would somehow be .2 seconds faster than the next non-doper.

Who knows. Look at this:

I'll continue to root for clean athletics, but there's nothing that would really surprise me anymore.

From Teena Marie on Mon, Jul 15, 2013 at 20:11:46 from 65.130.20.158

Bolt and Kirani James are posted all over my 10 year old's bedroom walls. It would break my son's heart if either of them ever cheated. I am often accused of being naive and trusting people too much but I have to hope that there is still a lot of integrity in the world. Please oh please oh please let me be right. :) :) :)

From Jake K on Mon, Jul 15, 2013 at 20:13:00 from 67.177.11.154

I'm with you Teena, I want to believe that amazing things can be done the right way.
