Give me 15 minutes, and we'll have our official preview story up but LetsRun.com has learned that Alan Webb is back in the New Balance Boston Indoor Grand Prix meet this weekend.
As a result, LetsRun.com has unofficially labeled the mile at NB Boston as the "North American Dream Mile" as it will feature virtually all of the top North American based milers.
The entire ex-Michigan clan of Alan Webb, Olympic silver medalist Nick Willis and Nate Brannen will be there plus US Olympian Leo Manzano and the high school phenom Lukas Verzbicas. Those and others.
