It was a great day for the Marathon in the "Big Apple ", and it was full of excitement........
The 1990's were dismal for American long distance runners, however the last few years there has been a revival.......and today was fabulous.......
Two American men finished in the top ten.......and in the Woman's race Shalane Flanagan of Marblehead,Ma. finished second........This was her first marathon, and with her effort she is the 2010 American Marathoner Champion.....
I have followed her career at Marblehead High , College and in the Olympics......and to see her take on the greatest marathoners in the world today and see her on the podium was wonderful.......
How to go........Shalane......
