Kara Goucher (pictured above) is a US medal hopeful in the 5,000 meters and the 10,000 meters at the upcoming Olympics. Also, she’s kinda’ hot. Thus concludes the Half-Fast Olympics Preview.
- For similar previews of the Olympics check out the AOL Fanhouse Attractive Olympians series of posts.
- Speaking of attractive, I would be remiss if I didn’t link you to my post over at CRN from this past week: Running is Cheap.
- April and Amy over at Twenty Six Point Two just celebrated their 1 year blogiversary. Paper is the traditional 1 year anniversary gift, but you’ll have to make do with a link in the Weekend Splits because I’m cheap. Look at that, it fits you both perfectly! Check out their best and worst 5 running moments (Amy’s and April’s) and congratulate them while you’re there.
- Viper responded to my challenge with baseless insults like calling me half-smart, but I would expect no less from that besotted lout.

If Vanilla wins, I'm seriously cutting my mileage in half because it would be
the ultimate testament to the fact that not running is the antidote to
slow-assery.

The honor this week goes to a bench-clearing brawl at a Japanese baseball game. I hope that it is fake but if it’s not, the Japanese obsession with quirky game shows is starting to make sense.
Have a great weekend everyone!
AND Goucher beat La Radcliffe. *Why* the USA hasn't wheedled her into marathon training is beyond me...
ReplyDeleteThat was the best Olympic preview ever made!
ReplyDeleteI want her abs!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for the Olympics to begin. Track and Field events galore!
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to to like her is that she's a former CU Buff (her husband, Adam, too)
ReplyDeleteCan you define "kinda" hot? Is it like being "kinda" pregnant or is it perhaps a superfluous term to lead the wife into thinking that your opinion of KG is that she is just "OK"?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had to leave a little wiggle room there for when my wife reads it. ;)
ReplyDeleteAt least I didn't say you weren't smart at all. That's pretty much a compliment.
ReplyDeleteKinda hot - really? I'll readily admit I would do 'most anything for those abs, but there is something decidedly masculine about Goucher's pouch in that particular pic. Like she's packing a mini peen or something.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree, he's...er, she's packing more than some male dancers are.
ReplyDeleteAnd Paris Hilton thinks she's hot.
