The main event of the summer was Alan Webb breaking the 25 year old American record, previously held by Steve Scott. Congratulations to Alan! This made Webb the 8th fastest miler of all time.
Another notable event was Alberto Salazar surviving and doing well since having a heart attack on June 29th. He reportedly is back to running 30 miles a week. Alberto is a 3 time winner of the NYC Marathon. I did get to see his first surprising win there when he beat Bill Rogers, who was a 4 time winner of both that marathon and the Boston Marathon.
