Haile Breaks Marathon World Record
Friday, October 5, 2007
“Don’t ask me how I am. It’s very special, spectacular.”
That’s what Haile Gebreselassie said after breaking the marathon world record last Sunday in Berlin.
As most of you know by now, Haile clocked in at 2 hours, 4 minutes, 26 seconds. He broke Paul Tergat’s 4 year old record of 2:04:55 by 29 seconds.
This was Haile’s 25th world record! Congratulations brother (in running, I mean!)
