The 50th NYC Marathon is in the books and Albert Korir (Who?!) is your World Marathon Majors Champion, Peres Jepchirchir is a superstar, and Molly Seidel is a really damn good marathoner.

What's up with Kenenisa Bekele and a high schooler in Michigan DQ'd for using a profanity in celebration?

Is Drew Hunter really baaack?

We end with an interview with Elkanah Kibet @76:59 who is living the American Dream, having run a "monumental race" to PR and finish as the 4th placer in New York and 1st American. His journey to America was almost meant to be and traces back to Daniel Komen and Stephen Cherono.
