I finished that being proud to come from the same country as a man that dedicated to pushing himself and the boundaries of endurance. And it certainly does put any issues I have had whilst training for marathons in perspective. Have you read The Barefoot Runner, the story of Abebe Bikila? Another quite astonishing story of a man overcoming incredible obstacles to change the way the whole world viewed distance running. <br /><br />Good luck with your training.TheRedSquirrelhttp://www.simonfreeman.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
