Kara Goucher: "I believe I'm ready"
New York, USA - A year ago, Kara Goucher got a good look at the 26.2 miles of the 2007 ING New York City marathon course riding as a passenger in the lead car.
This year, Goucher will be covering the course on foot. “Watching the race last year, I was blown away by the course,” she said in a telephone interview Tuesday. “I knew right then I wanted to run a race on it. It’s a little bit daunting, especially the last five miles, but I’m excited to be in the race this year.”
The ING New York City Marathon is an IAAF Gold Label Road Race.
For the 30-year-old Goucher, who with Deena Kastor and Shalane Flanagan has given American women’s distance running a modicum of respectability in recent years, it will be the longest race she has ever run.
