Meb Keflezighi, who with Deena Kastor was an original member of the Mammoth Track Club, is planning to move to San Diego “sooner rather than later,” he said during an New York City Marathon press event on Friday.

“Now in 2012, the Olympics are over and I’m making the decision to move to San Diego,” he said. “I want to get into the running industry on a different level. It’s heartbreaking because I owe a lot to the town of Mammoth Lakes – they’ve been very hospitable.”

Keflezighi, who won the New York City Marathon in 2009, said he remains committed to running it again in 2013. He will also compete in a spring marathon, but has not announced which one yet.

“I have three marathons left in my potential career,” he said.
