On a side note... and not being a runner or someone who does... whenever I hear the name Grete Waitz or Joan Benoit, I immediately think of the scene of Gabriele Andersen-Scheiss staggering that last lap around the LA Coliseum track in the '84 Olympic Marathon...

I thought she was going to die right there on the track...
