Keflezighis: They’re Just Like Us!
Meb and his family head out to a 5K in San Diego, and dad’s pride is evident.
Meb Keflezighi, and his wife, Yordanos Asgedom, took the family out for a 5K this weekend at the Rock ’n’ Roll Half Marathon in San Diego. And even though Dad is an Olympic silver medalist and winner of the Super Shoe Trends and Boston Marathons, he behaved pretty much like any proud papa: He couldn’t put the camera down while his daughters, Sara, 11, Fiyori, 9, and Yohana, 8, ran.

Keflezighi noted in a message to Runner’s World that this is the girls’ third 5K and they enjoy it. “We are not pushing them,” he wrote. “It is their desire.”
