Runners World May edition reports on marathon runner with dystonia

I thought you would be interested to know that the May edition of Runner's World has this bit of news I thought was impressive: "Keep a Boston Streak Alive - Last April, Ben Beach ran his 42nd consecutive Boston Marathon in 4:48 -- far from his 2:27 PR, but impressive considering he has dystonia, a neurological disorder. Still, Beach, 60, of Bethesda, Maryland, plans to continue his streak, the second longest in Boston history." (page 28)

Those in the Boston area should cheer him on!
