So, I was having my coffee on Friday morning, and Kevin Mangan, about six thousand miles away, sends me his predictions on the World Champs and suggests that perhaps (he was trying to be nice), we should post our predictions.


The challenge, as they say, was on! So, below, please find Kevin Mangan, intern at American Track & Field and RunBlogRun.com and Larry Eder, American Track & Field and RunBlogRun.com.

Big differences with this process: Kevin takes this seriously, well as I, as many know, only use reality when it benefits me. Nothing makes me smlle more than an email such as the following:
“Hey Larry, if you could get the crack pipe out of your mouth, maybe your medal picks would be more, ahem, realistic…” 

So, enjoy dear readers…. time for me to go to bed….
