Longtime greyhound adopter Teri Miller ran the Pittsburgh Marathon in 3:59.51, which she said makes her very happy. She was also running to raise funds for Pittsburgh-based Going Home Greyhounds, and her early estimation puts the donations at $2,000.
Miller encouraged fans of running and greyhound -- the go well together -- to bring their dogs to the course to help cheer her on this morning. But the damp chill of the morning gave way to rain, which might have kept the dogs away, if not the people.
"I saw five or six of them during my run," she said.
Another runner's story
Squirrel Hill's Eve Dater is a cross-trainer still fairly new to the marathon. The subject of an earlier Finish Line Post ("Staying Fabulous"), she planned to run most of the Pittsburgh race with her sister, Dory Levine. Dater's final chip time was 5:30.37; Levine clocked in at 5:03.55.
