Paula Radcliffe: Here's Wishing Full Speed Ahead

No doubt Labour of Lovers will be up in the wee small hours to wish Paula Radcliffe across the finish line in the Beijing Marathon. Ignoring all the pontification. Starting super Sunday as we mean to go on. Nine medals today heh? Four golds. And three or more in pipeline.

But who'd be a selector? More on this next time I get to a keyboard. There are at least three Mancunians sitting at home who would be in Beijing from the Athletics squad alone. More anon.
