You have captured this aspect of his personality by highlighting all the odds that were stacked against him one week ago - age, lack of support, recent lackluster performances - including the "nay-sayers" in the very same American running community he so "masterly" (officially in 53 weeks) represents. Nevertheless, I cannot shake a feeling I get about Mr. Keflezighi when he smiles. Although humble and unassuming, at times he smirks like he knows a secret. A secret he can't teach in words, only footfalls. A secret he can't teach in a classroom, but rather on a city street. And if you stand patiently on a busy road in Boston one particularly patriotic Monday morning, the bells will ring, class will be in session, and Mr. Keflezighi will stride in to teach you his lesson... "Always respect your elders". ;)c-radhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832582820146545955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465956249798874262.post-45825163357993315712014-04-25T12:34:14.563-04:002014-04-25T12:34:14.563-04:00Jimmy Carter once said, 'We become not a melti...Jimmy Carter once said, 'We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic.
