I just learned that Ryan Hall and I are both 5' 10" tall but that he weighs 134 pounds while I weigh 154 pounds.

I wonder if that is significant?

Probably only worth about 30-40 seconds per mile in the marathon

That's what I suspected.

That means you could totally take him in a sumo style wrestling match. Glad you decided to run yesterday! Running likes you.

Clearly that's all that separates you from a spot on the Olympic team. Stop eating...:)

Hey Rob it was me, not Andrea, who made that wisecrack about 40 seconds per mile. I guess I was logged in under her name. We'll blame it on the Teton bears.

I felt downright obese when I stood next to Abdi on the starting line in Duluth, if that makes you feel any better.
