Galen Rupp turned a strong double Saturday at the UW Invitational in Seattle, but he might not run a scheduled 5,000-meter race this weekend in Boston. 

The first-year pro, who runs for Oregon Track Club Elite/Portland, had cold symptoms Monday. 

Unless he kicks the bug quickly, Rupp won't be tangling with Bernard Lagat in what is expected to be a fast race Saturday at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games.
