Grete Waitz won the New York City Marathon nine times, a feat that no woman -- or man -- has been able to match.
Grete Waitz, Norway’s most outstanding long-distance runner and “Queen of the New York City Marathon,” died in the early hours of Tuesday morning at the age of 57, after a long fight with cancer.
Waitz was a front-line campaigner for women participating in long distance running, and for the rights of women in general.
She won the New York City Marathon nine times (1978-80, 1982-86, and 1988), the London Marathon twice, and the Stockholm Marathon, in 1988.
She also won the silver medal at the 1984 Olympic Games, and World Championship gold in 1983.
She also set several world records during her career.
Waitz also was honored by King Harald with the Royal Norwegian Order of St.Olav First Class, for her importance as a positive role model.

Members of Congress, as well as the President, swear to uphold the Constitution. If the people want something that is unconstitutional, they should be told, no. Thats no different than when we tell our children no when something is not in their best interest. Thank God for the party of no. At least they understand the Constitution.

Instead of telling you what I think makes a blog interesting, I’d like to tell you what I think makes a blog uninteresting!An uninteresting blog is one where comments that differ from the bloggers point of view are not welcome. I’m not talking about cruel, vitriolic comments, which shouldn’t be welcome anywhere, but comments like, “I don’t really like that suzani, but the chair is great.” In the same category is any blogger who needs constant reassurance that his/her work is spectacular. If a blogger can’t take (constructive) negative comments, he/she shouldn’t be blogging.An uninteresting blog is one where the blogger engages in shameless self-promotion EVERY SINGLE POST. I realize that many of you have blogs for the purpose of promoting your business/store/gallery/service, but you don’t need to promote it every post.An uninteresting blog is one where the blogger engages in snark for the sake of snark. I love a witty and/or biting comment now and then, but to dedicate an entire blog to it gets old very quickly.And, finally, an interesting blog is one where the blogger inspires and/or educates his/her readers.
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your weblog? My blog is in the very same niche as yours and my users would truly benefit from some of the information you present here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Thanks a lot!
