Thanks so much for sharing, that was an awesome day! I remember that like it was yesterday. I started watching the marathon and switched to the Sox game when it came on, but became so transfixed by what Joanie was accomplishing I had to stay with her race. I believe I remember a quote from one of the other runners that she just didn't want to die on the course while Joanie showed her true grit making us Mainers, country and runners unbelievably proud that day.
It was a wonderful day. Joan is a gift to our sport and our life. I was in LA that day and was fortunate to enjoy the Games but Joan's victory was the highlight by far.
Wishing Joan (and Scott) good health and days of rest. Her life was never the same.
Coach, I shared the video with my high school daughter. Our eyes welled up with tears together. That Killers song is now on my running playlist. I love it! Thanks for sending it!!

Hope to see you over here some year for her race.
