Nolan Shaheed shows Rono how far he has to go
Henry Rono ran the Carlsbad 5000 on Sunday, and got the main masters ink and photo coverage, but Nolan Shaheed of Pasadena quietly went about his business of kicking butt in the M55 age group, finishing a quarter-mile ahead of Henry, the former Kenyan distance God aiming for a world record in the mile this year. Their times: 16:31 and 17:48. Unfortunately, Henry writes that he didn’t get a chance to meet Nolan beforehand, or “my race could have been a lot better.” Meanwhile, our track friend Pete Magill (from South Pasadena) won the M45 age group in 15:12.

I myself am VERY pleased to see Henry on the “right track” again….KEEP IT UP HENRY and remember “one day at a time”…do the work and with some luck the results will follow. Nolan as we all know is a class “act”…a great athlete who “leads” by example. I wish him much continued success. Peter Magill is another INCREDIBLE athlete who inspires others by EXAMPLE as well…way way better than words (in my humble opionion). I wish ALL 3 runners much success in the future.
