Hilary was the 3rd fastest American woman to finish that unbelievably grueling marathon. That is HUGE news in the running world and really should have been the headline, in my opinion. Not to take away from anyone else's accomplishment, but with that kind of finish, I think she deserves her own place in the sun in her hometown paper. I ran the race too (MUCH slower than her) and am simply in awe. Congrats, Hilary. I hope to be able to buy you a cup of coffee at Dunkins or Zumes one of these days. :)
