An inspiring event

After watching the beginning of the New York Marathon for a few minutes, I went out and ran farther than I have done in recent times. After coming back I watched the completion of the marathon. It was quite an event, with Derartu Tulu of Ethiopia winning the women's marathon ahead of favorite Paula Radcliffe by more than thirty seconds. It was impressive to see Ms. Tulu running the last mile at the fastest pace in the marathon. One needs to have tremendous inner energy to run the last mile the way she did. Congratulations, Ms. Tulu!
