Go, George!

She just started running a little over 2 years ago, and has set her eyes on the prize with her usual determination. This year she qualified and trained for the New York Marathon.

Steely self-discipline over the course of the entire year allowed her to continue her training despite running injuries, illness, an unbearably long commute to the start of every race, and - most disturbingly - a serious car accident in the last month. Coddled Olympic medalists could learn from her example.



Here's hoping she makes all her P.R.s with style and grace. GO, GEORGE!
