I'm still at the Tracksmith Trackhouse and a bunch of runners are here. You can listen to our final Runner's Digest Boston Preview Podcast with Toni Reavis, Ben Rosario and more here:

Anyway, I got the text on Jordan being out and everyone here thinks the statement is bizarre. You are healthy yet you get an MRI to make sure? Doesn't really make sense. Likely had some other issues. If you're thinking you've got a chance don't likely do the MRI.

Aw, I was really hoping to see her race tomorrow. This news is even more so perplexing because she seemed all ready and set to go from what she said at the press conference... seems kind of silly for NOP to add her to the race hype and then pull out literally a day before the race. Hope she bounces back regardless though!
-
Nooooo
-
Aaaaaaand this is why everyone hates the NOP.

+1
She got so much attention in the media in
Boston, then this!
Makes me wonder if slippery Sal pulled the plug due to weather. -
Molly go crush it tomorrow
-
She's not in the same league as molly and shalane anyways so I highly doubt she would've even been a factor in the race tomorrow.
-
Boo. I knew she had some plantar issues, but pulling out the day before? Ugh.
Well I do want Shalane to do well, so will focus on that. -

P.S. You need some diversity in your podcasts. If only we could find a woman interested in professional running. -

So did they bring an MRI machine with them to the event? Kidding, but that's impressive to found an MRI facility open on the weekend and got the approval of insurance companies.
she might be just a bit more important than you. so yea not really that impressive that a world class athlete was able to get world class medical attention at the drop of a hat. Really? wait to get approval from insurance companies? She doesn't work at home depot, she doesn't even work for nike... she represents nike. -

Insurance is a scam, bro. If you have Jordan on the line, you can go out of pocket. I'd read her MRI pro bono just to see her pretty face, assuming one of her team doctors couldn't read it. -
Now I care a lot less about the ladies race tomorrow. With JH out, I just really hope Molly wins because both Flanagan and Desi are major beee-atch's given their most recent comments toward Hasay and NOP. They sort of make me ill.
-
Wow that's disappointing, guess it's all clear for Jill greathouse to win tomorrow
-
Maybe she’s pulling a Mary K and got her “monthly bill” unexpectedly.
Instead of trying to run she pulls out. -

This is why I think those pre race press conferences are complete BS. She said she was fit and ready to go and 2 days later , a stress reaction.
This shows you are clearly not a competitor. Why would she needlessly show weakness to her competitors? When gebressalasie ran at Atlanta, you think he walked up to all his fellow racers and told them his foot was messed up? -
I now have zero interest in this marathon.

If she is , why would she have said she was fit and ready to go at the presser on Friday? I’ll be pissed off if she doesn’t run.
Because she's a liar. If she lies about the doping, lying about this is a breeze. -
I get what you are saying... Suspicious; however I just had an MRI at 9pm in Phoenix and that is a regular scheduled time slot six days a week.

An agent told us if an athlete doesn't start they often get $0 of their appearance fee. Half sometimes for starting and not running well.
