I guess there was a reason we loaded the Kara Goucher DtB banner today ...
The dean of Minnesota distance running writers, Jim Ferstle, just wrote a fine profile of Minnesota's most decorated distance runner, Kara Goucher, for the IAAF's web-site.
You can find the story HERE.
Ferstle focused his piece on the disappointments and challenges Goucher has faced in her life -- from the death of her father due to a drunk driver when Goucher was a little girl to the athletic vicissitudes of running injuries and competitive self-doubt.
There are also some nice stories about her grandfather's role in Goucher's life after the death of her father.
We should probably design a Jim Ferstle DtB banner next ...
