Runyan Disappointed with NYC Marathon Run
US athlete Marla Runyan was disappointed with her performance in the New York Marathon over the weekend, coming in 20th and continuing despite soreness in her legs to raise money for charity ('Runyan Too Famous to Suffer Unnoticed', New York Times, November 3, 2003 - free registration required).
Allowing Runyan to train alone for the first time is a watch designed and developed by Nike that gives her the ability to check her own times ('Runyan gets watch from Nike' in Oregon's Register-Guard November 2, 2003).
Runyan has Stargardt's disease and is famous for being the first legally blind US athlete to compete in the Summer Olympics. Since placing 8th in the womens 1500m in Sydney, Runyan has successfully shifted her attention to middle- and long-distance running.
