 LONDON (AP) - Ten years ago, Lornah Kiplagat was a pacemaker at the London Marathon. On Sunday, she'll be one of the favorites.
Kiplagat heads a field that includes Zhou Chunxiu, the only female in the race that has run under 2 hours, 20 minutes. Others include Berhane Adere, Gete Wami, Benita Johnson and Kiyoko Shimahara.
Last year, Kiplagat won the 20-kilometer world road running championship and a series of shorter distance races. She's been concentrating on the marathon, so her world cross-country title last month in Mombasa, Kenya, was a pleasant bonus.
