Lank simians new-cast in nudity on the savannah, running a gazelle to exhaustion.īut then I think about one of these Olympic track stars. Despite the impossibility of their feats (26 miles at a 4:50 pace, 50 miles a day for 90 days, etc.), the competitors themselves srike me as very real, fundamentally human. ![]() I don’t mean the champions of distance running. I was thinking about runners this morning. ![]()
