Arrrgh! So close!

Damn! Kara Goucher finished in third place, in one of the closest Boston marathons ever. She ran a helluva race, it was awesome to watch. I saw her head dropping over the last two miles, I could feel her pain as that's what I do when I have nothing left in the tank but still have a few miles to go.

Ryan Hall finished in third as well.

Great year for the top American runners!

Wiley was still on sub three pace at the halfway mark...


For all the "true Americans" out there, that pic is not some sort of liberal protest with the backwards flag. She just couldn't think straight after hammering a 10K on the track.

It was an amazing race to watch. Hard to believe that it's only Kara's second marathon. I think she is going to start cashing in some of these major marathons soon.

The article in Runner's World quoted her as wanting to have a child soon. Hopefully she puts that off for a bit.

(But Kara, if you're reading this and still want to have a baby, call me and I will gladly help you with certain parts of that journey...)

Maybe she just wanted pix from the backside, with her backside. Either side of her is hot though.

Huh, backwards flag? Does that mean that all flags hanging from flag poles are half wrong, depending on which direction you're looking at it?

Actually, since she would be running to our right, the flag IS in the correct direction. The union is at the front. Think if she was running with it attached to a pole. She's even more hot now.
