Cleaning up the oregon project

The tide is turning, runners are starting to move away from the master Salazar. Two high profile runners Kara Goucher and Amy Yoder Begely both left Salazar's training group last week. Goucher said she is moving to colarado and is sighing with sketchers. Sketcher's I mean what runner wears sketchers? Thats right no one does. After thinking about it awhile it occurred to me that Sketchers must have offered Goucher a possible contract with 7 figures. Oh, did you hear about Meb also sighing with them. That is a Olympic silver medalist and a world championship bronze medalist. So you got two of the top runners in the world running for you, imagine all that new business that will potentially bring in, yeah lots. I don't know if any of you have heard about the new shoe that Sketchers made for Meb. It is a 6.9oz racing flat that looks to be mimicking the Nike free. Personally I don't like Salazar for various reasons do it is good to see people turning against the big man and doing it them selves.
