As if we needed one more reason to feel lazy on the morning of April 6, 2008. The San Diego Union-Tribune tells us that:
American mile record holder Alan Webb has entered the April 6 Carlsbad 5000, according to sources at Elite Racing, which puts on the 5K road race. “He’s definitely coming,” Webb’s agent, Ray Flynn, said yesterday. . . . Webb broke Steve Scott’s nearly 25-year-old record in the mile last July in Belgium, running four laps in 3 minutes, 46.91 seconds. Scott’s record was 3:47.69.
An American runner hasn’t won the Carlsbad 5000 since 2002. And when fast Americans enter, we guess that’s big news. Run, American, run.
