Like this story I read on npr about the 40th anniversary of women being allowed to run in the Boston Marathon. The word allowed drives me bonkers! How brave Katherine Switzer was back in 1967. Not only did she run a marathon, which is a challenge in and of itself, but she got accosted while running her race. Thank goodness she had a few pals that had her back in the process. She finished the race in 4 hrs 20 mins. Pretty great time for a first time marathoner.
