Yesterday I was at the New York City half marathon and was lucky to get a couple glimpses of one of my running idols, Kara Goucher, as she flew to a third place finish among the women. It was a close race until the end -- the top three women finished within 11 seconds of each other. It's hard not to be inspired when I see Goucher's fluid form, her steady focus, and competitive drive. But what was most impressive about her race yesterday was that her incredible performance came just six months after giving birth to her son, Colt. I'm in awe of her comeback and it motivates me to become a better runner.
