The return of the nodder.

So its been a good couple of weeks for Paula Radcliffe, which is good news indeed after her struggling performance in the Olympics in Beijing, where she came in 23rd place after suffereing a stress fracture on her femur.



The great south run was the perfect opportunity to remind everyone just what she was capable of, and dominated the event, winning in a new record time of 51.11 minutes for the 10 miles.

Paula followed that up with a superb run in the New York marathon, winning it for the third time just a week or so ago.

So although many wrote her off at the Olympics, I think shes shown everyone just what she can do, and surely is a contender once more for the London Marathon in April.
