"An event that's far more than an athletic endeavor"

As we have watched the events unfold around the Boston marathon, there have been many commentaries, but I ran (no pun intended!) across this from Mike Huckabee.  Whatever your feelings are towards Mike Huckabee or Fox News, this is a great tribute to the sport.  Governor Huckabee explains what it's like to be a runner, especially a marathon runner.  In fact, he says it's one of the biggest moments of this life next to his marriage and the birth of his children and grandchildren--the thrill of crossing four marathon finish lines!   Runners can wholeheartedly get what he's saying; non-runners can get a glimpse into the spirit of the sport.
