Nice article from Competitor about Shalane Flanagan's third attempt at the Boston Marathon this spring:
She's once again aiming to win the entire thing, and it's exciting to see her try. The Boston Marathon is her hometown race, and the desire to win is palpable.
It's refreshing and inspiring to see a professional athlete really put herself out there and leave her heart on the course. While she came up short on two big goals in 2014 (winning Boston and claiming American marathon record in Berlin), it wasn't for lack of effort. I sincerely hope this is her year to shine.
