More about Meb

I just can't get enough of this story!  Luckily, Runners World is republishing an email from Meb's brother Merhawi Keflezighi about Meb's lead-up to the race last week. 

My favorite passage: "So many things have to go right in a marathon and Meb made all those things go right. All the things didn't just happen for Meb; Meb knew he would have to run smart and strong and take risks in order to put himself in position to win the race. Meb believed he could win the ING NYC Marathon starting with his debut in 2002, and every day until Nov. 1, 2009. Meb believed it, never let the dream expire, and ultimately he achieved it!"   Words we have all said (yes, in one form or another) to ourselves, or to each other.   -  The full article. - JM
