My niece qualified for the women's Olympic marathon trials. She is running with the top 150 marathoners in the country, if she can be in the top three then she walks with a $30-60,000 purse and a ticket to Beijing as a member of the olympic team.
That is kinda blowing my mind just now. Just to compete in this class of atheletes is an amazing achievement.
We are going up to Boston in a couple weeks to see her run.
