The Road of Life.

"Life, as they saying goes, is a marathon. Thank goodness for that. I am not a fan of sprints. The marathon is indeed an apt metaphor for all we do. The 26.2-mile race demands discipline, perseverance and luck. It rewards the crazy, but still celebrates the plodder. Of all the sports that I have covered in my seventeen-year journalism career ... no event more than the marathon best capture the whole of the human experience. Or, for that matter, the book-writing experience." -Liz Robbins, in her acknowledgments in A Race Like No Other.

Ran the Sedalia Half-Marathon yesterday. Not quite book material, but still a pretty good race :)
