GOING THE DISTANCE Following in her father's footsteps, Vanessa Kerry is training to run in the Boston Marathon. John Kerry's youngest daughter is studying in London on a Fulbright scholarship, but told friends in a recent e-mail that she's training for the April race. (Her father has said he competed in the late 1970s.) In the e-mail, Kerry said she's running as part of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's marathon team and invited friends to visit the Dana-Farber website and make a donation supporting cancer research. (Among those who've responded are famous friends: singer Carole King and Al Gore's middle daughter, Kristin Gore.) Reached yesterday in Bozeman, Mont., where her mother, Julia Thorne, lives, Kerry declined to specify her reasons for running the marathon, but said that her parents, both of whom have been treated for cancer, are an inspiration. ''It's for everybody I've known who's had cancer," said the third-year Harvard Medical School student. ''It's a way for me to be involved in something positive and proactive after the election."

Still, I bet Her Royal Heizeous gives him an allowance. He makes more than I do.
SWIFT-FOOT VETERANS FOR TRUTH.
Hope she doesn't throw a shoe.
Last time I checked, you had to qualify for the Boston Marathon by running another Marathon in a certain time.
I guess the usual rules don't apply to prviledged Democrats.
LOL you owe me a KEYBOARD.
Yeah, she pulled up lame a couple of weeks ago, that healed, and now she had a few burrs under her saddle. The vet perscribed rest and lots of oats before the race. I think he wormed her too.
Do you think she will be running in a see through dress? That's what either her or her sister wore at the Fashion show before the election. Maybe it was her sister. And why is her sister on a scholarship? Can't she afford college? Isn't there someone less fortunate who could benefit from that scholarship she is using?
Check out the picture for post 31. I need a new keyboard.
No, no. That way, they'd have to SPEND some of THEIR money. Better to spend OURS!
Think I read that wrong. Maybe it's her that is doing the scholarship thins.
In the Rosie Ruiz division, no doubt.
I would run for that family too.
