An unbelievable 2:04:26 for Haile Gebrselassie in Berlin! That's just under 4:45 per mile back to back for 26.2 miles. It hurts just thinking about it.
An amazing athelete who gives generously of his race earnings to help fight poverty in his native country. Currently is lending his support to a clean water project for some of the more remote areas of his country. Clean water definitely is not a given for many parts of the world, something Haile knew very well during his childhood. Learn more at http://www.vickyswaterproject.com/

I can't even wrap my brain around that time! That's the same time I posted in the half marathon! I can't wait until a WOMAN narrows the gap with her *own* world marathon record. Go girls!!
