Olympic runner Adam Goucher has made the Goucher name proud for years. But with the recent success of his wife Kara, Adam is amused by his new role of Mr. Kara Goucher. It's a little bit weird," Adam said from his home in Portland, Ore., three days after successful foot surgery. "You kinda see how fickle the sport is. Her having such an amazing year and me not having such a great year, people now ask me 'Oh, you run too?' The Sports Illustrated article, which came out last week, said 'Kara Goucher, whose husband runs, too.'
BOSTON - After Kara Goucher last ran the Boston Marathon, she was so fresh - and frustrated - at the finish that she begged her coach to let her run another 26.2 miles a week later in London. Goucher insists she has calmed down, helped in part by the perspective she gained after giving birth, in the two years since she finished third in 2009 and missed the olive wreath by nine seconds. But when she lines up in Hopkinton for the 115th Boston Marathon today, her goal remains the same.

BOSTON - Kenyas Geoffrey Mutai ran the fastest 26.2 miles in history to win the Boston Marathon on Monday. Then his claim to a world record was swallowed up by the hills. It just wasnt the inclines of Heartbreak Hill that doomed so many runners before him. It was the downhill part of the race that makes his time of 2 hours, 3 minutes, 2 seconds ineligible for an official world record. In short: IAAF rules have deemed the oldest and most prestigious marathon in the world long considered the one of the most difficult, too to be too easy. You dont look at world records.
