Murchison said her training involved running twice a week, eaqji time varying the length of time she ran, to allow differ ent muscles to gain strength. She also took classes on how to eat healthy and deal with injuries. fSJTt To train for the BoiUon Marathon, Murchison said she set a goal to complete the Austin Motorola Marathon in three and one-half hours. She finished in three hours and twenty-five minutes. “Anyone who likes to run and has their mind in the right place can finish a marathon,” Murchison said. “It takes mental toughness beqhuse finishing 1 is more mental than physical. Often times with about six milesjleft nly body would be fine, but my mind wouJd want to quit.” Ag Fit is a program in Bryan-College Station committed t(/training any individ ual both mentally and physically for marathons.

Giuliani spent almost four hours Wednesday greeting the public and signing copies of Leadership at a mid-Manhattan bookstore. "The man is great, and he's great for, the city. As a New Yorker, 1, just had to be here, said Mark Grossman, a button manufacturer from Bayside, Queens, who arrived at 3:30 a.m. to get three books signed at the noon event. Leadership, which went on sale Tuesday, covers Giuliani's life and career, from his child hood in Brooklyn to his work as a federal prosecutor and two terms as mayor, which ended several months after the attacks on the World Trade Center. He earned national recogni tion for his leadership during the crisis. The line of admirers stretched two city blocks. "Had it not been for Giuliani's leadership, I would have moved out of the city after Sept. 11," said Kirby Sommers, a Manhattan real estate broker whose brother-in- law was killed in the World Trade Center attacks. Some came bearing gifts, including a paper sculpture con structed of photos of the city and a compact disc of patriotic songs inspired by Sept. 11. Giuliani writes that he asked President Bush three days after the terrorist attack if he could per sonally execute Osama bin Laden if U.S. forces captured him. "I am sure he thought I was just speaking rhetorically," Giuliani writes. "But I was seri ous. Bin Laden had attacked my city, and as its mayor I had the strong feeling that I was the most appropriate person to do it."
