WEST HARTFORD - — These days, Meb Keflezighi is a soccer dad. He can eat ice cream five days before the Boston Marathon.
“Coffee,” he said when asked what flavor. “I have to have it in a cone. A waffle cone.”
Keflezighi, the 2004 Olympic silver medalist, New York and Boston Marathon champion who retired from competitive running in 2017, couldn’t do that for years when he was training for Boston. Now he spends his time working with his MEB Foundation, which promotes global youth health, education and fitness; doing motivational speaking and driving his three daughters to school and to and from soccer practice.
