The Salazar story was a good one. I'll be interested to see if Ritz is running with 'good form' through Central Park. Didn't realise Yamauchi was 37. Same age as Geb. Hope she does well.

Ewen you can watch NYC Marathon on Universalsports but it will cost you 4 dollars.

Rick you obviously don't know Ewen that well if you think he'll fork out 4 dollars!

Rumour has it that Ewen once walked home 30 miles in the snow to save a 2 dollar bus fare. He said it was "base training"!

That's now quite right Scott. Our bus fares have gone up to $3. And it was 9k in a heat wave.

Rick, what went wrong with Ritz? 2:12 is a bit ordinary. Find out from Alberto next time you're talking to him.
