    Well, I hope you installed one of these. Go big or go home.

    A few things about Nawal. She won the first Olympic gold medal for any African woman and any Arab woman. The King of Morocco proclaimed that all girl babies born on that day be named Nawal. She served on the IAAF. She has been a large force on the International Olympic Committee for quite a...

    I agree. I ran both the 400 and 800 in high school and I was not going anywhere near the 400 hurdles. My son ran HS track in Minnesota and they only run a 300m hurdles rather than 400.
