Did you see the British runner, Paula Radcliffe? She dropped out in the Athens Marathon, and the British press crucified her as a quitter. She had a stress fracture in a femur not that long ago, and the doctors told her not to race. But she did, and she finished this one.
I did she her. she was in OBVIOUS pain and you could really see it on her face when she entered the stadium to finish on the track. such determination. I do hope she hasn't hurt herself too badly though.
