I dont want to write an article

This is a blog. You want news go to TFN.com or follow Conway Hill (

), my space is random and sometimes less than thoughtful.
So on to the show.

A white guy broke ten seconds. A few want to cry about the skin of the man being insignificant, but oh well, it is an event. Lemaitre did it to win his nationals in 9.98 and he did it in beating my sprinter Martial MBandjock (10.08).
Allen walked away. Over the last couple of years we have become friends, and throughout his entire career I have remained a fan. I used to believe I would end up coaching him back in the early/mid 90s but it never happened. He is my mental model of hurdling, even more so than Skeets, which is saying tons for me. When I picture what I want for my athletes, it is AJ is see. Lil fella did it like no other for a long time, I will do all I can to convince him to stay in the sport in some significant capacity.
Paris was shaping up to be the big showdown between Dayron and David, but the Cuban champ pulled out with sore legs then went down to injury at practice the next day. We may have seen something extra special now we are just left with special. ;)
On the home front I am in full track withdrawal!!! I have not been to a significant meet since 2008 and it is killing me. These are the business months, where I get to see my work flourish and mature, and make those on the move decisions that give races that unknown excitement. Instead I have become an expert at coaching by Internet feed, emails, skype and BBM!
Speaking of, all my iphone friends, until they show me something that can do what BBM does, text unlimited for FREE, I will remain on #teamblackberry. BTW I love the iphone and it one touch apps and screen etc. I have a itouch and it is great. But I know what my athlete is feeling as soon as he can get his phone. INSTANTLY.
Meanwhile, Paris is tomorrow, July 16th. Pls send me all live feeds and result pages, I collect em from meet to meet.
Oh, please congratulate Kevin Craddock on making it to the circuit. He's a year away but the experience is invaluable.
Other than that Ochocinco show is great entertainment, TO is melodramatic, Wipeout is the funniest shit on TV, please believe it.
That is all...for now.
