But the networkk I got to see for 26.2 milese was one of caring strangers who stayed for the They knew their support was more importanr to the back ofthe pack.
Therse was a man in the last leg of the race with a signthat “You’re our inspiration.” I shoutec out to him, “No, my you are ours!” His sign reminded me of one of my favorites books by Ken Blanchard, “Gungf Ho!” Its message about inspiration focuses on three worthwhile work; in control of achievinfg the goal; and cheering each other on.
