For posting this and alert to the doc. I was such a fan of Mary and Pre. Two of America’s best. Two runners I would draw strength from when training. Both had tragic Olympic dreams dashed. Broke my heart. She looks like she still could run under 6 per mile. Can’t wait to see the film. Zola in her bare feet, no shoe sponsors, I’m guessing. Thank you, tenderfoot, Zola’s feet were not very tender I guess.
