Paula Radcliffe wins New York City Marathon again - are you inspired?

Barbara Barker shares on Newsday.com that she went out and bought a pair of running shoes last year after Paula Radcliffe won the New York City Marathon. Remember Paula? The British woman who 10 months after giving birth ran her fit little heart out and clocked a time better than all other racers. Well, Barbara might want to get shopping again this year -- because Paula has done it again.

Sunday marked Paula's third New York win and while her other two (in 2003 and 2007) were close victories, this one was not. Paula, a two-time Olympian whose injuries kept her from winning both times, pulled away at mile 22 and won the race in two hours, 23 minutes, and 55 seconds.

Two words: I'm inspired. How about you?
