Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

December 17, 2006. Our friend Maritza, from DW's Women's running club, ran in the Jacksonville Marathon, trying for a BQ. Her husband Ron, whom we had not met, ran the half marathon. Maritza was on pace for her BQ when she was intercepted by race officials at mile 21. Ron had collapsed just after crossing the finish line. By the time she reached the hospital he had passed away. He was 48 years old. We're just thinking about her today.
