Steve Dunn Marathon Observations

By Frank E. Walton Tommy Holmes To stand near the finish of the Honolulu Marathon and watch the participants as they reached the "Smile, only 1(2. mile to go" sign was to recognize that here was a real example of democracy in action. Bruce Ames By the hundreds they streamed by: young and old; male and female; fat and thin; black and white; local and foreign; tall and short; sprinting and limping; healthy and sick; running with long strides or with tiny stutter steps; running Sandra Haine easily or with difficulty; color coor­ dinated or Sloppy Joes; smiling or frowning; finishing with plenty to spare or barely making it. Some collapsed and required help; others stopped to vomit and then strug­ Norm Dummire gled on. Some were staggering, holding their sides, their stomachs, agonized ex­ pressions on their faces, others ex­ uberantly raised their arms to celebrate their accomplishment. Ken Brown Here was the winner, finishing a few minutes more than two hours after the start. Here were others taking three hours, four hours, five hours or even eight hours. But the Marathon is not really a story of who beats whom. Rather, it is a story of personal achievement and personal courage. It demonstrates a willingness to stand the pain, forge through "the wall" and carry on. Tina McKellar Jamie Beardmore In that sense, everyone was a winner. rj;J
