Subject: Joan Benoit to return to the 2008 Olympics I was just watching a interview with Joan Benoit Samuelson on Area Code 207 a program on a local station. Joan was the 1984 Olympic gold metal winner as well as the first American woman medalist in the marathon. The interview was basicly about the upcomming race she founded and directs "The Peoples Beach to Beacon 10K" and the international field competing in it. The interview also discussed endurance training in gerneral. Joan went on to say she believes crosstraining to be very improtant and with her running includes biking and swimming in her training program. In the interview she stated she will be training to qualify for the 2008 Olympics for her 50th birthday. Way to go Joan, you are an inspiration. |
