A broken clock is right twice a day.
Everyone knew this in November 2017. Defending American Champ is guaranteed 300k appearance money. Winning last year put off retirement for a year.
News Flash
Desiree Linden will be returning to Boston in 2019. Same reasons.
Wow, she said she would retire if she won New York, then she decided to give Boston a shot, afterwards she said this was probably my last Marathon. Great news she IS COMING BACK, Good Luck to her, I hope she wins and Makes the Olympic Team in 2020.
Sandy is just trying to keep a thread that he/she started from getting deleted. Fraud.
$$$$$ for retirement. No way 2020. Tring to get prego.
If you read the article it clearly states that she and her husband are in the beginning stages of the adoption process.
I’m excited to see how she does. She has reportedly been running some really fast workouts, in addition to helping Shelby get her American record by pacing.

That biological clock stopped ticking quite a few years ago.

Why get preggo? Doesn't even seem like she and her husband have that good of a relationship. Of course, that's just judging purely from social media. I don't think I'd want to be married to a super intense chick like that.
wtf? really? this is retarded even for this site.
She won’t sniff the top 10
Desi changed her name
Amy changed her name
Kara changed her name
Deena changed her name
Shalane was never confident enough to do so.
I totally respect Shalane as she still respects the sport. She is not a total sell out. You don't see her showing up like others and running 2 hour half marathons and 38 minute 10k just for a paycheck.

Changing or not changing one's last name has zilch to do with confidence.
Mary Keitany
Molly Huddle
Des Linden
Sarah Sellers (2nd in Boston ... notoriety)
Sara Hall??
Janet Bawcom
Kellyn Taylor
Caroline Chepkoech??
Mary Wacera??
Just read the NY Times article. It looks like the race gave them "the scoop" in return for a feature on Flanagan as the official press release (Posted at the bottom of this post) came out today. Here are my thoughts on the article that I enjoyed. 1) The article is bad news for 2020 US Olympic marathonhopefuls. I was assuming she wouldn't do 2020 Olympics simply so she could have kids. Now that I've read that she's adopting, then I don't see why she wouldn't run through 2020 (Now, if they adopt a baby, it might be really hard to balance) and run as long as she can. The money is hard to pass up and she's still really good. 2) If it was me, I think I'd be insulted the honor Nike gave her on the campus. "The company even named an executive parking spot on its sprawling campus after her, though it is not reserved for her." A parking spot? I'd rather just have nothing or maybe a small coktail hour or something. I don't think she's worthy of a building but a parking spot? Really? 3)I thought the following excerpt was absurd.
While I think Flanagan deserves a ton of credit for helping all of the Bowerman Track Club women rise to the top of the world, I think she deserves basically zero for Desi's win. Yes I know the next thing was a tweet from Flanagan but come on if anyone should be getting credit for Desi's win other than Desi it should be Mother Nature.

A lot of women choose to go by their given name if that's how they developed their brand. Mostly likely their name is legally changed to their husbands. Lindsey Vonn is actually reversed. She took her husbands name and got divorced in 2007 but still goes by Vonn because it's her money maker. Imagine if she started going by Lindsey Kidlow again? She would have to rebrand everything.
I can see it now - "Defending Champion Shalene Edwards returning to the NYC Marathon"
Big waste and loss of money.

Or the men behind Desi, Amy, Kara, and Deena weren't confident enough to let a woman decide what the hell name she wants.
