Lorraine Moller's Wings of Mercury
By Britta Kallevang
As featured in the July August 2005 issue of Running Times Magazine
"Lorraine Moller is a hero. A modern day Greek goddess, Moller has embarked on many odysseys throughout her life. She’s a four-time Olympic marathoner—the only woman to complete each of the 20th century’s Olympic marathons for women—holder of the longest winning marathon streak ever, an undefeated masters runner, a mother, and a coach.

But that’s not the whole story. Moller is much, much more. The roles she fills and feats she’s accomplished are only that. Moller will not be fenced in by anything, not even her own legacy."
Sounds a bit over the top; but its still a good read for sports enthusiasts who are wondering "why?" (Gary)
