More marathon quotes; “If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience another life, run a marathon.” Emil Zatopek.
And I remember Abebe Bikila, the runner from Ethiopia winning the 1960 Olympic marathon (barefooted). I watched it on a small black and white TV set and was awed by what I saw. This was what I believed the Olympics were supposed to be all about; individuals competing against themselves…at the time I was naïve, I didn’t know that the Olympics are really nationalistic programs to sell a lot of stuff!
