A Thought for Grete
Sad news from the world of "real" marathons—the death of Grete Waitz, who ran (and won) more marathons than most of us will ever sit through. If you did any distance running in the '80s, you can picture her signature pigtails and modest smile.
Thank you for posting this. I had not heard that Waitz had died. Sad news indeed.
