Short run and this weekend's predictions

Cut my run a little short today. The heat really got to me. Did just 4 miles. I'll probably come back with 7 or 8 miles tomorrow.

Here's my predictions for this weekend's USA Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon. The top 3 finishers in each event qualify for World's in late August (assuming they have the "A" qualifying standard). Here's my picks for men's track events:

1. Tyson Gay
2. Michael Rodgers
3. Darvis "Doc" Patton

1. Tyson Gay
2. Walter Dix
3. Wallace Spearmon
