Runner’s World (8/91), told the
story of Beth Anne DeCiantis’s
attempt to qualify for the 1992
Olympic Trials marathon. A
female runner must complete
the 27-mile, 385-yard race in less
than two hours, forty-five
minutes to compete at the
Olympic Trials.

Beth started strong but began
having trouble around mile 23.
She reached the final
straightaway at 243, with just
two minutes left to qualify. Two
hundred yards from the finish,
she stumbled and fell. Dazed,
she stayed down for twenty
seconds. The crowd was
ticking—2:44, less than a minute
to go.

Beth Anne staggered to her feet
and began walking. Five yards
short of the finish, with ten
seconds to go, she fell again. She
began to crawl, the crowd
cheering her on, and crossed the
finish line on her hands and
knees. Her time? Two hours, 44
minutes, 57 seconds.

Hebrews 12:1 Reminds us
