Everywhere we look, we see an American running. They run for every reason anybody could think of. They nm for health, for beauty, to lose weight, to feel fit and because it’s the thing they love to do. Every year, for example, thousands upon thousands of people nm in one race, the Boston Marathon, the best known long distance race in the United States. In recent years, there have been nearly five thousand official competitors, and it takes three whole minutes for the crowd of runners just to cross the starting line. You may have heard file story of the great runner Pheidippides. He ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of the great victory 2500 years ago. No one knows how long it took him to nm the distance. But the story tells us that he died of the effort. Today, no one will die in a Marathon race. But the effort is still enormous. Someone does come in first in this tiring foot race. But at the finishing line, we see what this race is about: not being first, but finishing. The real victory is net over one’s fellow runners, but over one’s own body. It’s a victory of will power over fatigue. In the Boston Marathon, each person who crosses that finish line is a winner.
