Boston Marathon: Why I'm running

In 2007, Jennifer Phinney ran and won her first ever marathon — the Boston Marathon Shadow Run, a simulation of the race in Massachusetts — in her military base in Iraq. 11 years later, today, Phinney ran her first Boston Marathon in Boston and finished it in 3:50:27. "I compare this moment to my time at the military. We would come out of the field from training, dirty, wet, exhausted and we couldn't wait for a hot shower," she said.

London Marathon prep

Farah ready for first test of marathon credentials

Mo Farah is determined to race the inaugural Big Half marathon in London Sunday despite the freezing conditions. He's flown in from his training camp in Ethiopia, where it was 25 degrees, and will return there afterwards to prepare for next month's London Marathon. "I'm not worried at all," he said Friday. "You can't pull out because of the cold or bad weather. All the preparation has gone into it and I'm definitely going to race, no matter what."
