Hopefully, we can miss everything this weekend and get a good finish.

At 10 minutes to seven on a dark, cool evening in Mexico City in 1968, John Stephen Akwari of Tanzania painfully hobbled into the Olympic Stadium-the last man to finish the marathon.

They sent me 9,000 miles to finish the race.
