Pace on Earth

The Runner

When I read the headline on Deadspin "Boston Marathon Winners Shockingly Not From Boston" I rightly assumed they meant that Kenyans or Ethiopians had won the race. When I read a little deeper though I also found out that a Canadian had won the single-leg amputee classs and set a world record doing it.

Rick Ball, a Toronto Transit worker from Orillia (where 77% of people said yes to Anacin!), ran on a sweet prosthetic spring leg and beat his personal best by 8 minutes becoming the most recent athlete with a disability to make me feel inadequate. Congratulations!

Pace out.
