Caroline White; Runner in the Boston Marathon

Caroline White, a LT in the United States Air Force, ran the Boston Marathon in April in a big PR of 2:37:32. This is a 8 minute PR over her old marathon best of 2:45. This also qualifies her to compete in the Olympic Trials under the A standard. She will be training between now and next January with high mileage, lots of track work, and race at shorter distances in attempts to see another PR in Houston.

Second American

I'm sure most blog followers have heard the news by now, but a big congratulations goes out to Zac Hine for his second place American finish at the Boston Marathon this morning. 5:14 pace is just sick. Beat that, Luff, you cocky sack of potatoes.
