'I don’t feel 70 at all. It’s too bad the number is there.'
But a little more than an hour after Kosgei finished was Jeannie Rice, age 70, of Mentor, Ohio, a town about 25 miles east of Cleveland.
Rice, who still works as a realtor in the Cleveland area, felt fine after her marathon. She was back at work—in heels—Tuesday after the Sunday race. She took up running, at first just wearing tennis shoes. She quickly found she was good at it, and with minimal training, she was soon placing in her age group in local races.In 1984, a lifetime of marathoning started, with a 3:45 debut in Cleveland, followed by a 3:16 at her second attempt in Columbus. Chicago, by her count, was her 116th marathon, and the sport has taken her all over the world—to the Great Wall of China, New Zealand, Prague, Paris, London, Madrid, Dublin, and Iceland.
Running, she says, is a sport that you can pause and resume at any point throughout your life, and it’s not dependent on other people.

You’re lollygagging out there like a fucking turd,” said Grier, who during the school day is responsible for teaching and providing emotional support to kids with learning and developmental disorders. “No, shut the fuck up. That was fucking horrendous. You’re wasting this team’s time and you’re wasting my goddamn time, so I better not fucking see you pulling any more of that soft-ass pansy bullshit.” After practice ended, the 36-year-old coach reportedly drove home to have dinner with his wife and two young children.
