ESPN covering distance running? Great article.

Also, I'll take credit for pointing out the "26.1 miles" gaffe early in the article. I tweeted them immediately after it posted. And yes, I'm so anxious to race I'm getting excited about playing the role of editor for the biggest sports conglomerate in the world.

I was privaleged to be positioned right at the corner onto Roosevelt to witness it live. It truly was one of the most amazing highlights in sports history. He went into overdrive on that hill! I would never have thought that would be his last race, so damn tragic!
