YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    DOWN AND OUT

    By The Associated Press | Associated Press – Sun, Aug 12, 2012

    Within seconds of each other, U.S. marathoners Ryan Hall and Abdi Abdirahman were out of the Olympic race.

    First, Ryan Hall dropped out around the 11-mile mark with a tight right hamstring. Then Abdirahman called it a day because of an aching right knee. Hall was among the favorites to contend for a medal, too.

    "I felt like I was favoring my stride and didn't want to get injured," says Hall, who lives in Flagstaff, Ariz.
