So was Scott Simmons in Houston with his runners for the Half Marathon, or was he in Edinburgh for the Cross County race?
Curious where his main focus is when he's got athletes racing on the same weekend for ADP and WCAP.
I think the answer will be very telling about where his bread gets buttered.

thank you. appreciated.
for comparison purposes here is the current UK list. the Great North Run is obviously a lot more popular with British ladies than with Americans and a few of ours would only be on this list if that race was included. I have, however, stripped those out to make things comparable.

a surprising (to me) omission from this list is Sarah Rowell. I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Sarah Rowell since she was the first woman to win an open marathon and I had fully expected her to be on this list but her best half marathon is only 72:06.
Cheers.
Way to go, Molly!
