The Nike Presser for the NIke Prefontaine Classic is always fun and fascinating. Tom Jordan, long time meet impressario for the Nike Pre Classic, provides a weather update, a couple notes on scratches and gets to the survey the assembled media with a smile.
Then, Tom Jordan (the man who wrote the book Pre!), gets to do what he loves: talk track with the finest athletes in the world. Here are their responses, and they are worth a good listen.

Of RunBlogRun, his daily pilgrimage with the sport, Larry says: "I have to admit, I love traveling to far away meets, writing about the sport I love, and the athletes I respect, for my readers at runblogrun.com, the most of anything I have ever done, except, maybe running itself."

Theme song: Greg Allman, " I'm no Angel."
