The Shoe Addicts present: Kara Goucher, Olympic Trials-Marathon, third place, women, video by the Shoe Addicts, note by Larry Eder

This is the Shoe Addicts video on Kara Goucher, who
took third in the 2012 US Olympic Trials-Marathon. Goucher, who was
probably a month short on her fitness, gutted it out and held onto third
place. Her husband, Adam Goucher, told us afterwards, “Just think how
she will be with more fitness between now and London!”

Here is what the Shoe Addicts noted about their video:

The Shoe Addicts are proud to present third place at the 2012
Olympic Trials Marathon in Houston, TX and now part of Team USA: Nike
Elite Athlete Kara Goucher. You’ll find her and the rest of Team USA
battling for the Gold at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
