She was already 33 years old and struggling with foot and back injuries, and pregnancy and motherhood tend to make training difficult. But today Radcliffe, who gave birth to Isla on Jan. 17, won the New York Marathon. "I've really, really missed it," Radcliffe said. "It's way more fun than cross training in a pool or cross training in a gym, and that's what it's all about. That's what keeps me motivated to work hard and to cross train hard is just getting out there and enjoying the atmosphere." Although the British Radcliffe finished well short of the world record of 2:15:25 that she set in London in 2003, her time of 2 hours, 23 minutes, 9 seconds beat the Ethiopian Gete Wami by 23 seconds. The bridges and hills of the New York course, which spans all five boroughs, makes New York more difficult than London, but it seems that no obstacle can slow Radcliffe.
Amazing, wonder what excuses the losers will make up. "Oh she grew stronger from carrying around so much extra weight the last 2 years!"
man some woman will do anything to get out of having sex first it's "not tonight hun, the baby's kicking" then it's "not tonight hun, i gotta train for the marathon"
