[Title] => Keep running!
[Summary] => Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. – Hebrews 12:1
You may have heard the story of John Stephen Akhwari, the marathon runner from Tanzania who finished last at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. No last-place finisher in a marathon ever finished quite so last.
Injured along the way, he hobbled into the stadium with his leg bloodied and bandaged. It was more than an hour after the rest of the runners had completed the race. Only a few spectators were left in the stands when Akhwari finally crossed the finish line.

[Title] => More inspiring stories
[Summary] => I received a lot of feedback regarding my last piece about inspiring stories from the history of the Olympic Games. It seems that many of our countrymen are looking for something to cling to, even those in the world of sport. If even the last bastion of innocence like college basketball can be smeared with controversy and veiled accusations of unfair officiating and outright skirting of eligibility rules, is anything sacred?
