Claire LomasNow here's a story that'll make you feel supremely guilty about how lazy you are when it comes to any form of long-distance running (or maybe that's just me?). Claire Lomas, 32, finished the London Marathon in a bionic suit, 16 days after she first started. Oh, and she is paralyzed from the chest down.

She walked in the suit two miles a day to complete the 26.2-mile race. Her husband, Dan, walked behind her during the whole thing, and her parents and 1-year-old daughter also joined her through most of her journey. Watching Claire cross the finish line has seriously inspired me to dust off my running shoes. I act like I'm having a wheezing heart attack after going two miles on two good legs.

She has made history too -- she became the first person to complete a marathon using a bionic ReWalk suit. Wow, what an inspiring woman! Talk about someone who defied all the odds and made her dream a reality.

Well, the treasured pastime of collecting baseball cards & trading them with friends just got a whole lot less innocent, considering sexy Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton is going to be pictured on her very own Topps rookie card.

The 19-year-old blonde bombshell was selected along with a handful of other celebs to be part of the Allen & Ginters World Champion Set, which will contain 350 cards all together. Gee -- I wonder how many teenage boys will be rushing out to purchase this particular set when it comes out? (Probably more than a few.)

Caroline WozniackiAs if we needed more proof that anyone can make a crappy music video nowadays? Caroline Wozniacki, a Danish professional tennis player, despite being the second highest earning female athlete in the world according to Forbes in 2011, has come out with such a terrible music video, you're gonna be left wondering about the future of humanity after watching it.

Okay, so Caroline has never won a Grand Slam, but it's safe to say her chances of winning anything for her artistic/singing talent are even smaller. Her video "Oxygen" is an awkward montage of her signing autographs and singing robotically in a studio -- yet facing away from the microphone -- and flirting with some dude and playing with some kids. And there's a dog. Please just watch it. It'll make you feel better about your life choices, I guarantee it.

The Bobby Petrino/Jessica Dorrell sh**storm of a story has so many different shades of wrong, it's a veritable rainbow of foolishness. There's the ill-fated motorcycle ride that started it all (or should we say ended?), the way Jessica ruined her own wedding, and dear God no, even naked pictures of Bobby Petrino.

But it's not just Jessica, Bobby, and their (sigh, for lack of a better word) loved ones who got hurt in this train wreck. When Jessica applied for that job as Arkansas University's head of recruiting for football -- and when Bobby Petrino pushed to hire her on the same freakin' day of her interview -- all women hoping to break into college football took a giant step backwards.

I'll be the first to admit: I'm not the biggest fan of women's basketball. But when headlines came out celebrating Brittney Griner's dunk, helping propel top-seeded Baylor to a 76-57 win over #9 Florida, I had to find out more. I had no idea that a woman dunking in an NCAA game was a big deal.

But apparently it is! Griner, who's 6'8"(!), was only the second woman in NCAA tournament game history to make a dunk. And as her coach Kim Mulkey said, "That wasn't just a barely-over-the-rim type of dunk. That was a monster dunk."

Whoa. Sounds pretty badass to me. I'm sure you, like me, want to see this one for yourself!

Apparently there's pole dancing, and then there's ... pole dancing. Meaning there's the kind of thing you'd expect to find at a place called Bada Bing's and then there's ... the kind of thing you find at the International Pole Championship. The latter is considered "pole art," and it's both aesthetically and athletically spectacular. 

Especially when Deborah Roach is on the pole. Which is why the Australian won first place in her division at last week's Championship. Oh, did I mention she only has one arm?

'Bout dang time we heard a good girl power story, what with all the ridiculous misogynist ranting in the news lately: 6-foot-tall LSU goalie Mo Isom (Mo is short for Mary Morlan) is such an amazing kicker that Tigers football coach Les Miles is giving her a much-coveted tryout to kick for his team in the fall.

That's right, the football team. The completely male football team.

You go, Mo!

It gets even better. Because after everything Mo Isom has been through, it's a miracle she's a successful athlete at all -- never mind a successful female athlete on the verge of busting into a male-centric sport.

The Daytona 500 is just under two hours away and the world is waiting. The anticipation is normally high around this race but today most everyone is talking about Danica Patrick ... for a whole variety of reasons. The most important, I think, is that she is breaking ground in her sport. She is only the third woman to ever compete in the Daytona 500 and it's awesome that she's representing.

Here's what you need to know to get your drive on ...

• The race will be on FOX and, although their programming starts at noon, the race doesn't begin until 1pm EST.
