Wrapping Up Goucher's Boston Race

See Updates Below ...

The day after the Boston Marathon has produced a bit more coverage of Kara Goucher's 3rd place finish at the storied event, so we've gathered the best of it below. We've also posted our own race story one post down, along with some links we gathered yesterday.

The Boston Herald's Recap

The Boston Globe's Race Story

Globe Columnist Bob Ryan's Take

The Star-Tribune published two stories on the race -- HERE and HERE -- each with a different poignant post-race photo.

Goucher Coming to Duluth ... Goucher will be in Duluth in two weeks. She'll attend Duluth's Mother's Day Walk & Run on Saturday, May 9, where she plans to give a talk and participate in the 2 mile walk event with family.

Goucher will also speak to Duluth Middle School students the day before as part of Duluth Fit-n-Fun Assembly. Fit-n-Fun is a partnership between Grandma’s Marathon and its Young Athletes Foundation, the Duluth Public School Systems, and Duluth Children’s, an affiliate of SMDC Health System, aimed at motivating children to lead healthier lifestyles.

But Going to London First? ... The Star-Tribune is running THIS Associated Press story reporting that Goucher is lobbying coach Alberto Salazar to let her race at this weekend's London Marathon.

The AP story says Boston, the pace of which was very slow early-on, felt like a jog followed by a fast 10K to Goucher.

No London After All ...
The AP has updated the Goucher/London story. Salazar apparently talked Goucher out of what would have been an historic double.

HERE's
the final word.
