4. The NYC Grand Prix gave us some good indications of fitness for many of our top athletes.

5. Watch for coverage from onsite by RunBlogRun’s team, and our previews, reviews on a daily basis.

6. Looking forward to seeing many of you there.

7. I suspect ticket sales have been okay, but it is hard for non-locals to visit when Hampton Inn/Springfield charges $704 a night. Hilton should be ashamed of itself. Air BnBs have also gotten pricey.

8. My dream is that NON, New Balance Outdoor, and adidas Outdoor figure out that 3 national events on one weekend is not good for the sport.

9. Noah Lyles is in 100m and 200m at Eugene.

10. Gabby Thomas is in 200m at 400m at Eugene.

11. Sha’Carrie is in 100m and 200m at Eugene.

12. I can not think of one easy event in Eugene!

See you on Monday at #CoffeewithLarry.
