The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Peterson remains ahead of schedule in his rehab, and he's already been racing some of his teammates at the Vikings' practice facility. "I got to run against Adrian and he's looking good," said Jerome Simpson, who beat Peterson in the race. "It was neck-and-neck there. We're always talking a little trash back and forth to each other, but it was a great competition."

Diehards Line:Peterson beat a few of his other teammates, an impressive feat given that he is only about six months removed from major knee surgery. He beat Percy Harvin in their runs up a steep hill twice on Wednesday, as well. "He's amazing. I told him the other day I don't think he's human," Harvin said. "Two weeks ago he beat a couple guys in a race. When I got here yesterday, I told them guys they should be embarrassed. ..." Peterson's goal of being in the starting lineup remains unchanged: Week 1 is his objective. We'll continue to follow up.
