The Shoe Addicts Salute, Mary Keitany, Marathoner, note by Larry Eder

On Friday morning, I asked Mary Keitany one question. Was the Mary Keitany we would see on Sunday, August 5, in better shape than the Mary Keitany we saw dominate everyone in the Virgin London marathon last April?
Mary looked at me, smiled, and said, ” I think I am a marathoner now. My training has gone well.”
The Shoe Addicts salute Mary Keitany, winner of Virgin London marathon, and a marathoner to be reckoned with on the two loop, championship course that will be London’s Olympic marathon.
