WSJ covers a mile in the Big Apple...

It was great to see running get a little press this morning in the Wall Street Journal.  The article titled "Four Minutes Down Fifth" by Joshua Robinson covered a famous one mile race in New York.  The Fifth Avenue Mile in New York City is a world class road running spectacle.  Athletes cover real estate from 80th Street to 60th Street, hills included.  In the past ten years only two male runners have run the course north of four minutes.  The article goes on to illuminate why the mile holds such mystique in the English speaking world.
