The Marathon

Today, thousands of people will run the NYC Marathon. The training, stamina and sheer commitment from all these people is to be admired. It takes patience, diligence and good physical and mental health. These people are to be admired. They pace themselves and realize that finishing this race is about slow and steady planning. It is not a sprint. The finish line isn't visible from the start and at times it seems as if it will never be reached. However, it will be. I only wish the voters and members of our government would take a lesson from these wonderful runners. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
