I'm watching Pussycat Dolls tonight!!! Don't cha...
Yes, I'm watching the Pussycat Dolls tonight. Woo hoo! Looking forward to it although I doubt if their performance will be anything as burlesque as what we see on the videos. Nevermind, even if they're fully covered up I'm fine, as long as I get to see the lead singer, Nicole. She is H-O-T, albeit a tad skinny.
Left work at around 645pm last night and managed a 12k run, followed by 5 x 100 meter strides.
I watched a bit of Eurosport this morning and saw that Kenenisa Bekele won the 1500 meters at Stockholm, the Swedish stage of the IAAF World Athletics Tour 2006. This man's range of running in various distances is incredible. As we all know, speed is of paramount importance in the 1500 meters, and Bekele, despite better known for his feats in 5000 meters and 10,000 meters, won this race because he needed some speed work. But not before some controversy. I did see the runner attempting to push Bekele away from him.

A small controversy over 1500m
World Indoor bronze medallist Maryam Yusuf Jamal of Bahrain made a brave run, right behind pacemaker Kenyan Faith Macharia in the women’s 1500m and won in 3:58.96 at the beginning of tonight’s meet. She was challenged all the way by France’s Latifa Essarokh who broke four minutes for the first time (3:59.61). Australian Sarah Jamieson, who tops the world lists for the Mile, improved to 4:00.91 as she came nearer and nearer the leading duo.
But there was a small controversy in the men’s race. Multiple World and Olympic 10,000m champion Kenenisa Bekele looking for some speed work won his competitive debut at 1500m in 3:33.08. But his last 30 metres were so full of lactic acid that as his legs began to fail he dramatically veered across a couple of lanes of the track in the final 50 metres, right in front of a duelling World silver medallist Adil Kaouch, who found himself forced wider and wider to the outside. Virtually unnoticed Kenyan Isaac Songok’s run on the inside of this pair almost took the victory, finishing second in 3:33.25.
In the 5000m three men broke the 13 minutes-barrier in a race where $500 were awarded to the leading man at the end of each lap from 3000 metres and on. Ugandan Boniface Kiprop saved his effort to the last lap and won in 12:57.11, ahead of Moroccan Abderrahim Goumri in 12:57.89, and emerging Jonas Cheruiyot in 12:59.08.

Have a good day ahead. Bring on this evening and PCD!
