When elite distance runner Sara Slattery clocked an Olympic qualifying time of 1:14:22 at the San Diego Rock n Roll Half Marathon in June 2014 -- two full years before the U.S. Olympic marathon trials -- she figured she had plenty of time to have a baby and get back in shape for Rio. A month later, she got pregnant with her second child, daughter Cali. (Her son, Stevie, was born in 2013.)But a year later, she received some unfortunate news. Her qualifying time had been thrown out because the point-to-point course had not been certified (the start and finish were too far apart). Suddenly her third -- and likely final -- attempt to punch her Olympic ticket was in serious jeopardy. So she set up a new plan: Run another OQT (Olympic qualifying time) at the 2016 Jacksonville Half Marathon on Jan. 3.I was nervous, but I had to start getting in shape for Rio anyway, said the former four-time NCAA champion who lives in Phoenix, where she is the head mens and womens cross country coach at Grand Canyon University. With the Jacksonville race taking place just two weeks before the Jan. 17 cut-off to qualify for the marathon trials, the pressure was on.It was my first race back [since having Cali] and I had forgotten what it felt like to race. I had fallen off the pace a bit and didnt realize it until there was only 800 meters to go. So I missed the qualification time by seven seconds, said Slattery, who ran 13.1 miles in 1:15:07. I was really, really upset that I had missed it by that short of a margin. It was a big goal after having my kids to get back to top-level fitness again.Narrowly missing the mark is unfortunately a familiar feeling for Slattery, who in 2008, at the Olympic trials for Beijing, finished fourth in the 5K. Only the top three made the team.Four years later, an injury right before the 2012 Olympic trials kept her from competing, forcing her to bow out of the bid for London. Thats when she and her husband, Steve, opted to start a family. In March 2013, they welcomed firstborn Stevie, and soon after, the new mom began training again.So even after failing to make the time in Jacksonville in 2016, Slattery was still determined to make that comeback count. I was in really good shape and I didnt want to waste the fitness. I decided to return to the track and see what I could do. In April, my students were racing at the Mount SAC Relays in Norwalk, California, and I jumped in last-minute. I ran the 5K in 15:49, which was pretty good, she said.Two weeks later, she signed up for the Payton Jordan Invitational in Palo Alto, California, and ran the 10K in 32:13 -- achieving the IAAF Olympic A qualifying standard with 12 seconds to spare.I was just shy of my all-time PR [31:57] when I was at my fittest in 2006, she said. Im juggling a lot right now and sometimes I wonder if I should be doing this. It gave me a lot of confidence to come so close to my PR 10 years later. The hard work is paying off. Its good to know that I still have it in me.Slattery has been training up to 25 hours (about 75 to 90 miles) a week and coaches at the university approximately 30 hours a week, so life has become much more of a juggling act than it was in the past. And if she succeeds at claiming an Olympic berth in the 10K at the track and field Olympic team trials on July 2, she may have to bring her whole brood with her to Rio. My family has sacrificed a lot for me to continue training. I would love to be able to show my kids, my family and also the runners on my team not to give up on your goals. My goal is to know that I did everything I could to put myself in the best position, she said.And if that is still not enough, Slattery has made peace with it. Nothing will be as devastating as missing out by one place in the 2008 trials.I feel a lot more calm going into it. I was almost scared to run in 2008 because I didnt want to fail. Now Im more excited to see what I can do. Nike Tanjun For Sale . LOUIS -- St. Cheap Nike Tanjun Shoes .

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.A doctor at Englands only FIFA-accredited artificial pitch-testing lab says crumb rubber on 3G pitches is no more dangerous than a childs toy. That comes after a study in the USA claimed there is a link between the use of the material on artificial surfaces - made from recycled tyres - and cancer.A father whose son contracted Hodgkins Lymphoma while playing as a trialist goalkeeper at Leeds United two years ago has called for further research into the allegations. The American finding suggested goalkeepers were at particular risk of falling ill due to the fact they came into more regular contact with the substance.But Dr Colin Young of Nottingham-based Labosport UK says investigations by his firm show the rubber - also known as SPR - is safe.He told Sky Sports News HQ: We tested the SPR to a toy standard and we identified it was a particular toy standard which iss an EN 71 part three.ddddddddddddThat linked to the safety of childrens toys, dummies and anything a child might feasibly put in their mouth. Weve sampled SPR from fields in the USA, the UK and in Europe to this standard Dr Colin Young says the rubber used on 3G pitches is no more dangerous than a childrens toy We havent found any toxicological issues or any high elevated levels in any of these materials that are considered a risk to childrens health on any SPR fields so far.From the results weve got from a statistically significant number of samples, it would perfectly meet and could be rubber-stamped in terms of meeting the requirements for childrens toys.
