While eating breakfast this morning, I was scanning my son's "Sport's Illustrated," and the only article that was the least bit interesting was about Paula Radcliffe. The hard-nosed, cynical sports-writers here in the USA couldn't say enough nice things about her. It's a very inspirational article. The magazine is full of the usual male adolescent, testoserone driven stuff about american football, the US baseball world series, the opening of the new professional hockey season, etc. And the real story is about this phenomenol athlete, slight and unassuming, who is a superb role model. I hope they give her the cover next week. She deserves it. What a great story!!!
