Ok, maybe not.

I was at the meet. 

He's one hell of a cool dude, and his history in the music biz is amazing.

Tony Young (47) was also taking a run at the W45 world record but some adventurous cuisine the night before meant he didn't get much sleep and caught up with him on the fourth lap. His splits were: 64, 66, 66, 77.

David Cannon actually ran a faster age-graded time than Nolan. At 53 years old he did 4:38.64.

Plus I'm running again.

Plus I'm half-cocked. Four sheets to the wind. And my legs have that wild feeling like they are coiled snakes.

You know what I mean.

Well that was stupid. I mean the running again.

Looks like you're not alone in the sheets department as well ...(eyes favorite beer of the week)...

Interesting use of string theory. Mis-applied but interesting.

I've not felt the coiled srping yet, but hope to one day.

Hopefully you are drinking good bourbon or good wine.

and damn glad to see you're back on the road.

That's the best Lagat face you can make?

It's more like this, man:

 This is an amazing photo.  Look at how balanced and centered Lagat looks.  I mean, this is at the end of the race....he should be (probably is) full of lactate, etc...and the form is there.  Look at his foot strike....look at how straight up and down he is.  That's fucking beautiful.

I love the crazy eyes, that is a great shot.  Here's another of the same 5k championship finish with Tegenkamp to the left of Lagat and Kipchoge.  Check out the air under those spikes, dude's literally flying.

1	1113	Bernard Lagat	USA	13:45.87	.
2	768	Eliud Kipchoge	KEN	13:46.00	.
3	1067	Moses Ndiema Kipsiro	UGA	13:46.75	.
4	1143	Matthew Tegenkamp	USA	13:46.78	.
