An all-star group, including Matt Taylor, Tony Reavis, Mary Wittenberg, Amby Burfoot, Chris Lear, and Lauren Fleshman, has worked together to bring you a new web site, runnerville.com.
In their own words:
"Runnerville.com is a collection of voices and pens (err, keyboards) brought together to discuss the sport of running. It’s a conversation intended to engage, inspire, and prod the running community. It’s a dialog intended to encourage change. Running has reached the proverbial fork in the road. One path leads us into deeper obscurity, the other into the collective conscious of sports fans. We’re pushing for the latter."

We have now posted some of our Boston Marathon photos. There will be many more to come soon.
(4/18 update: I've added more photos to the above gallery, and in an effort to make my own photos look bad, I've also added Peter Rufo's photos of the race. There are still many more photos to come, which we will post as soon as we can without neglecting our other responsibilities.)
Results from the race can be found here.
