EDER
ESPN2's early morning show, Cold Pizza, featured our colleague, Larry
Eder this morning. Larry, President of the Running Network, talked
about affordable running shoes of $80.00 or less. The shoes Larry had
time to mention were Nike Air Pegasus, Nike Air Perseus, and Reebok's
Premier Road Lite. Larry also advised viewers to buy shoes at specialty
running stores. The Running Network comprises 29 running
publications, including the Michigan Runner. For the Running Network's
show review by Cregg Weinmann see

SpringShoeReview04index.html __/ MICHIGAN RUNNERS SURVIVE BOSTON MARATHON HEAT
Hundreds of Michigan Runners survived the 85 degree of Monday's
Boston Marathon. Among the finishers was Riley McLincha, who
"drubbled" three basketballs along the entire route and finished in a chip
time of 5:45:56. Top Michigan finishers (chip times):
Ryan Linden, Open Division (18-39): 2:33:23

For complete results see http://bostonmarathon.org __/ A PR OF 1 HOUR 5 MINUTES WILL SEE TRACEY MORRIS
RUNNING IN ATHENS
She's neither a Michigan story, nor an American story, but we think
Tracey Morris's performance in Sunday's Flora London Marathon is
striking. Tracey, a 36 year old optician, finished her second marathon
in 2:33:52, 1 hour and 5 minutes faster than her first marathon (also
the Flora London marathon) of 3:39. Tracey's time met the Olympic
Marathon qualifying time of 2:37 and will be Great Britain's third
marathoner in Athens. Tracey will join world-record holder Paula
Radcliffe and Liz Yelling in Athens. __/ QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"I genuinely had no idea I could do that time (2hr 33min 52sec) because
I had only run one marathon before. I tried to run carefully because I
wanted to get to the end and had been warned that anything could
happen in the last few miles.."
-- Tracey Morris, quoted in an interview with Gareth E. Davies,
