Sad news

Olympic champion Samuel Wanjiru died today (yesterday?) at the age of 24. He won five of his seven marathons and broke the half-marathon world record three times. I'm going to miss watching him compete.

It's rumored that he committed suicide by jumping from the balcony of his residence after his wife found him in bed with another woman.

on a happier note, this vegan dude just won the Pittsburgh marathon... kind of... he was supposed to be a pacer but then changed his mind :)

2:16 is fast. Where does it say he's vegan?
