Just did a little wt training today: chest, abs.  No running.

 I met with Coach Bob Williams today--he's very pleasant and has the most amazing background and experience, working with Alberto Salazar, Prefontaine, and Bowerman.

Hmmm....Alberto, Prefontaine, Bowerman? Are we supposed to know those names? They sound so familiar but I can't put my finger on it.... :-p

Oh that's right--they're all from Oregon, as all great runners are (I can say this because I'm actually from Virginia). Y'all from Utah (or PA) wouldn't have heard of those guys. ;-)

Ah yes, from growing up in neighboring Washington, I remember hearing something about some Oregon university that had some good runners. Weird! Small world!
