  1. That's an impressive set of 400's Bob. I thought you'd take it easy the day after -easy/hard principle and all that.

  3. That's getting back into it Bob. Nice 400s. What would you be racing 1500 in? I'm thinking something under 5 minutes.

    The Origami video was amazing. I wish Asics were still called Tigers. My first pair of spikes were Tigers.
