Looking Forward to 2010

We already have a lot to be excited about for running in 2010. First up is the Boston Marathon, the premier marathon (sorry, New York). The 2010 marathon is going to feature last year's third place finisher, Ryan Hall, and the 2009 NYC Marathon winner, Meb Keflezighi. Ryan and Meb will try and become the first American winner since 1983, while competing against the deep Kenyan and Ethiopian fields.

2010 will also mark the first half marathon for Boston native Shalane Flanagan. She will compete in the Aramco Houston Half Marathon on January 17th. Based on the timing of this race, don't be surprised if she decided to join the New York City or Chicago Marathon in 2010, with an eye on Boston in 2011.
