Posted by TheRunning
Meb Keflezighi has become a streak buster in the marathon. In the 2004 Olympics, his silver medal ended a 28-year U.S. drought in the event. When he won Sunday's 40th New York City Marathon, he became the first U.S. champ in the race in 27 years, since Alberto Salazar in 1982.
He had a question Monday when his legs were feeling surprisingly fresh from his personal-best 2 hours, 9 minutes, 15 seconds over the 26.2 miles: Who was the last American to win Boston?

Hall upbeat after Boston beating
Posted by TheRunning
Ryan Hall, the top U.S. male marathoner, is still a relative novice in the event, as evidenced by recollections of his first experience at the Boston Marathon on Monday. This was the most painful marathon I have run yet, he wrote Wednesday in an e-mail. It hurt bad. It was tough because I had a guy sitting on me for the last seven miles so I had to stay positive and not give in to the temptation to just settle for where I was. By the last mile I was just telling myself to drive forward with everything I had.

Could shoes and shoe companies be covering hundreds of thousands of perfectly able bare feet? If shoes are doing damage, just what are the companies measuring?

Posted by TheRunning
The BAA Women's Invitational Mile yesterday served as an exciting prelude to today's 113th Boston Marathon as Greenwood, Maine, product Anna Willard (4 minutes 38.6 seconds) edged Marblehead native Shalane Flanagan (4:40.2). Fellow Maine Olympian Joan Benoit Samuelson held the finish tape, only a couple of hours after she finished fourth in the women's division of the inaugural BAA 5K.For Flanagan, the mile may have previewed greater involvement in next year's marathon weekend. She is seriously considering a 26.2-mile try in 2010.
