Sir Edmund Hilary died today. He and Roger Bannister’s examples held my commitment firm during the darkest days of planning the final 31:04 cross-country record run of October 2006.
I owe Hilary much, Bannister the rest.
UPDATE: Read/Listen to the NPR story on him here.






















Yeah I heard this on the way to work. RIP.
RIP, He will be missed.
Dude.. that sucks.

Classy comments about two giants that found new limits from a guy that pushed a few of his own. Sir Ed will be missed.
