MARINE CORPS MARATHON for WASHINGTON POST

Here is a piece I did for the Washington Post. It was in yesterday's paper. The article is a ode to the losers. It talks about how in a race like the Marine Corps Marathon and others like it, the winners need the losers and vice versa. It's this yin and yang thing. Hot/cold, up/down, good/evil sort of thing. Essentially the piece talks about how those who finish first have time to watch and possibly cheer on the others struggling to just make it across the finish line. In doing so they see how hard the others that are losing are working and suffering and it makes the winners feel even better for where they're at. That sort of thing. It's as if you can't have winning with out losing.











Enjoy!!
