It gives a distorted picture of his marathon life.
Sorry for the missing information. The list below should help with a slightly clearer picture of my running life: (Sorry it is quite long)Yes, if you look at the bottom of the NYC list there is a DNF from 1984. I'd happily trade in all 67 for a redo of that one. Rule one we should all run by: first and foremost get the medal around your neck. As for me thinking I'm anything special is preposterous, my first XC coach at age 13 set us down and said "if you hope to be any good at running you have to eat running, sleep running and drink running". I am still trying my hardest to be good at running.
