Shannon Rowbury is back in 2015 and she is running fast and waking more than a few people up! Her 4:22.66 was the fastest indoor mile since 2000 for a woman! It is the fifth fastest time for the indoor mile ever! Shannon has made it clear she wants to improve at the 1,500 meters and the 5,000 meters once again in 2015, as she did in 2014!
The Shoe Addicts TV plus RunBlogRun recognize Shannon Rowbury as our January 2015 Athlete of the Month!
Just to reinforce her fast mile in January, on February 14, 2015, Shannon came oh so close, running the second fastest mile by American ever, with her 4:24.32, as she won the Wanamaker women’s mile. Shannon wants another shot at the best mile ever. She will get it.
