Kelli Murchison, a senior accounting
major, had been running all her life when
she started training for marathons two
years ago.
“My father has always run marathohs
so I started running when I was 7 years
old,” Murchison said.
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.”

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
Giuliani releases new
book 'Leadership'
NEW YORK (AP) - Fans wait
ed for as long as nine hours to
shake hands with former
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and
get a signed copy of his new
book, Leadership.
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."
