Miami Marathon: Alboucrek, 43, still chasing Olympic dream
2004 Miami women's champ overcomes injuries, family obligations to regain top form
January 25, 2011|By Craig Davis, Sun Sentinel
Stacie Alboucrek has never had trouble running fast times.
Timing has been her nemesis.
When she qualified for the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials in the marathon, pregnancy kept her out of the race. She qualified again in 2004, and a freak injury slowed her in the Trials. The birth of her second child ruled out a try for 2008.
The Fort Lauderdale resident is nothing if not patient in chasing her Olympic dream. At 43, Alboucrek is regaining the form she showed as the women's winner of the 2004 Miami Marathon. She will run Sunday's ING Miami Marathon for the first time since 2005 with the same objective.
