If she were ready to run the AR then it's odd and unfortunate that she's running Boston rather than London or Rotterdam. Talk is cheap...
What is up with all of you? Did Emma Bates spurn your advances, steal your man or kick your dog?
As for why she’s not running London or Rotterdam, I’m sure she committed to Boston as her goal race months ago and is getting a nice appearance fee. It’s the most prestigious marathon in America. Even if she is in AR shape, times aren’t everything—she could still achieve something great at Boston.
I’m glad her training has gone so well and she’s super confident. Like another poster said, if she says she’s jumped to a new level I have no reason to doubt her. And as a fan I’d much rather see her answer rojo’s questions honestly, rather than give coy or noncommittal responses.
