Lucia Silecchia on Lessons Learned from a Marathon

"I spent last Sunday on the sidelines of a marathon cheering for thousands who accomplished something I respect -- but may never fully understand! The weather was stunning, the crowd was enthusiastic, and it is always exciting to root for a loved one crossing the finish line.

"I may never run a marathon in my lifetime, and those who know me best would likely bet against the likelihood of that achievement. Yet, I learned much as a spectator."

In a recent commentary, writer/Professor Lucia A. Silecchia reflected on some of the lessons she learned from watching the marathon - including the inspiration given by those who ran the race while helping someone else.
