(Photo credit: Guo Dayue/Xinhua)Were you watching the Olympics this afternoon? The women’s marathon took place today and, while I’m not a runner, and certainly not a marathoner, even I could appreciate how big of a lead Tomescu Constantina of Romania had for the last several miles. She headed into the Birdnest Stadium over a full minute ahead of any other runner to win the gold medal.
