BOSTON (AP) — Marathoner Meb Keflezighi says he doesn’t expect any problems from a minor knee injury he sustained in January.
Keflezighi (kef-LEZ-ghee) said on Friday that he “tweaked” his left knee when he slipped on some ice while training in California. He says he took two weeks off and then trained only every other day for another two weeks.
The New York City Marathon winner says he’s 95 percent back and that if he wasn’t fit to run in the 114th edition of the Boston Marathon on Monday, he wouldn’t have entered the race.
Keflezighi is trying to be the first American man to win Boston since 1983.
