Olympian zeal.

I was a cross country runner in my youth. Oh how i ran. I have a great running style and a faulty breathing routine. I also have a van so running ain't called for. I'm watching the women's marathon and it's at 2:10 into it. 2 miles to go. What persistence it takes to become a long distance runner. Even more to train for marathons and more yet to run one. To be the fastest long distance runner eight years running is Herculean in it's scale.
