Some people are koneh olem haba in one minute and some people lose it

Today I ran the ING Miami Marathon with Matis Penner. It was an amazing weekend capped off with an amazing marathon. I met matis's parents today in the airport tonight to return their son and she conveyed to me the following story. She was davening shemoneh esrei this morning when the phone started to ring. She heard the answering machine go off and as hard as she tried to ignore it as soon as she heard my mothers voice she couldn't help but listen. My mother said that Matis finished the marathon and "tears started to stream down my face".

There goes all my schar for the entire weekend.
