Marathon in Paris

Why do these girls run, why? tell me Why are they running the marathon? All deserve a gold medal, all of them I have tears in my eyes when I see them.

SO SWEET. I only ran because my gym teacher made me, or I had a bus to catch. haha

It is so graceful to see them running... ! But running a Marathon race is no easy a task for women athletes. As you feel, they all deserve a medal. Have a great weekend, dear Yaan.

I see nothing wrong in females running to compete in a marathon. That's equality.

It is a calling for some women, to demonstrate their determination, tenacity, and equality, Yann. My take on it. Tears of joy I get when I see what we humans are capable of for eg. Olympics.
