		Komen resumed training in November, in time to prepare for an indoor season that began with a second-place finish in the 3,000 meters at an IAAF Grand Prix meet in Stuttgart, Germany, and continues this Saturday with another IAAF meet in Valencia, Spain.
		Komen recently discovered that his hamstring problem is caused by a right leg that is two millimeters shorter than his left, a condition that he says is prevalent in African runners.
		Komen chose to run in the Valencia meet in part because he feels it will provide good preparation for the 2008 world indoor championships that will be held at the same arena.
