It's Sad Really

Haile Geb has seemingly been ducking the competition a bit lately, but now he's taken it to a new low.
He will be racing school kids on June 2nd in NYC.

If Haile doesn't end up running the NYC Marathon this Nov., Mary Whittenberg will have really wasted quite a bit of dough on trying to lure him. She brought him out for the NYC Half in March(which he DNF'd) and she was just in Ethiopia two week ago to lure him celebrate with him at the opening of his new hotel too.
I have a pretty good feeling he will end up running the five boroughs come fall though.

Thumbs up Haile!!
