Until the Boston Starting Gun Fires ...

Until the racing gets underway at the 113th Boston Marathon -- where, of course, Duluth's Kara Goucher this morning aims to become the first American women's winner since 1985 -- here are two feature stories we found to read in the meantime ...

Kevin Pates' feature on Goucher from the Duluth News-Tribune

Mark Craig's feature on Brian Robison in the Star-Tribune

Also, we've collected a lot of meet results from the weekend in the Short-Cut post below, if you've still got time left over.

Cold & Windy ... The weather report from Boston is cold and windy, with temperatures in the 40s during the race.

You can watch the Boston Marathon live via THIS web-cast by Universal Sports. The elite women start at 8:32 a.m. CDT.
