		Chepchumba said she had been aware the her friend and house-mate Lorupe was not too far behind her although the diminutive runner was difficult to spot among a big group of marathoners.
		But when Chepchumba got to the 21 kilometre mark, she realised that Lorupe was no longer in sight and decided then that she should make a run for it.
		Chepchumba said Lorupe was very determined and had no doubt in her mind that she would run the 10,000 metres heat on Wednesday.

		London, UK - When Joyce Chepchumba and Margaret Okayo sat next to each other at yesterday’s Flora London Marathon press conference, it was the closest the pair have been since the latter made her marathon debut in Chicago in 1999.
		Chepchumba competed in the last two Olympic marathons, and even took bronze four years ago in Sydney, but unless things dramatically change between now and August she will have to watch this year’s race on television, while Okayo lines up among the favourites in the Greek capital.
		Chepchumba admits she is disappointed to be left out, but admits: “I have achieved a lot of success as a marathon runner so it doesn’t bother me as much as it might have done in the past.

		Running for the fourth time in New York, Chepchumba took best advantage of an ominously slow early pace to win in 2:25:56, while Rop, third here last year in his marathon debut, broke the tape in 2:08:07, posting a 55-second improvement from his PB set during his win at the Boston Marathon last April.
