2008 Women's Olympic Marathon Trials

Deena Kastor Joan Samuelson

Boston was the center of the marathon universe this past weekend. As usual, the Boston Marathon was held on Patriots Day. On Sunday, about 150 women competed in the U.S. Olympic Marathon trials. Deena Kastor (left) placed first with a masterful, come-from-behind performance.

But Joan Samuelson (right) was definitely the crowd favorite. Nearly thirty years after winning the 1979 Boston Marathon, she ended her competitive career just like she began it -- running down Bolyston Street wearing a Red Sox cap. Finishing in 2:49:08, she set a new American record for the 50-54 age group.

Fenway Park

Fenway Park

The American Institue of Architects recently posted an appreciation of Fenway Park and other historic buildings. If you follow the preceding link, you can view a short video of Fenway. The video features photos from the Flickr community including my May 2007 photo of the Sox championship banners.

That's so cool.
