A final word before the starting gun

First, good luck to all runners in Charlotte. Enjoy yourselves -- at least afterwards. Competing in a national championship meet is an honor that sometimes gets lost in the nervousness and expectations.
And to those of you lucky enough to be there, have fun. If you're like me, watching others run brings back familiar, stomach-tightening feelings.
I'll follow up with my top-three predictions (which were posted in order of when the final is run) during and after the meet. Strangely, I'll be on the road yet again this year, filing remotely from South Dakota and Iowa. I hope to make it to Kentucky this fall, but that's a fur piece from here in Montucky.
I look forward to reading your insights. Live results will be available here.
