More Wanjiru

This whole tragedy is starting to get weirder and weirder, and Sammy Wanjiru's mom is claiming he got murdered. Hopefully, security cameras in his estate can clear up this debacle, but for now he is still mourned through many around the world including his fellow runner and friend, 2009 Boston Marathon champion Deriba Merga. Toni Reavis did an amazing tribute on him, and here is a wonderful bio on him from 2010.

Kara may be running the World Championships in Daegu (only if she doesn't qualify for the US Team in the 10k), Green Bay marathon runner gets her money, breakfast options for the runner, and diagonals.

Tuesday, May 17 - 8 miles. 2.5 up, 3x(400,300,200,100), 8x100 hard, 2.5 down. Sounds a lot more complicated, but combined a couple of workouts together. Ran up to track on a gorgeous evening for some speedwork. Working with Megan to increase her speed too, so ran with her to get in some additional mileage and work on her turnover - went well and progressing on schedule. Got confused trying to map out the 100 meters (I swear the distance seemed short), so ended up starting on the curve to offset any discrepancies (would rather run longer than shorter). Goal was 20 seconds for 100 meters, to work on turnover. Hit the splits, but worked for it, hopefully because I ran long. Ran back, long stretching session, and passed out like no other. Not the most fun to get back in after 10 p.m., but it has to be done. 100 splits were: 20, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 18, 17.
