Paula Radcliffe, London Marathon 2008

Here is Paula Radcliffe, an incredible athlete success story if ever there was one. Her career is quite incredible, not taking up the marathon until late, and then blazing a trail for all women distance runners everywhere. I was disappointed to see her drop out of the London Marathon 2008 on Sunday 13 April. But Paula will be back. She seems to specialize in dropping out through no fault of her own, only to come back and win. That's a champ.

Check out her cool website at http://www.paularadcliffe.com/ where you can see her brilliant smashing of the world record at the Chicago Marathon in 2002 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/2324197.stm Good luck in Beijing next month!

P.S. I just signed up for the London Marathon 2009. Go Fullerty!
