It is indeed awesome to see examples of honor recognized in the press when most of what we get is such despicable examples of character. Well done Paul!

I enjoyed this story today more than the US advancing in the World Cup (sacrilege!). Thanks to Paul for reminding us that common decency is applicable everywhere; especially in the field of competition.

I'm sure this attention embarasses Paul, but he deserves the accolades. He's a good, honest person. Hopefully more people with follow his sporting example. Well done, Paul.

The article mentioned Seth's condition (type 1 diabetis), which I did not know about. But it neglected to mention Paul's (Ankylosing Spondylitis ). So I posted a comment there to keep things in balance. If Seth and Paul can run a sub-1:06 (without the wrong turn) half, and Albert Wint (missing flap in a heart valve) can run sub-2:30 marathon with their conditions, it shows that those conditions can be worked around with faith and persistence. Do not give up if you have one.
