Bob CollinsWe can learn a lot from Hyvon Ngetich, 29, who was leading for most of the marathon in Austin, Texas on Sunday.

She couldn’t run anymore and collapsed near the finish line.
The honor of the long-distance runner

A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
