Happy Birthday, Joan Benoit! You're the marathon legend who sprinted into history books at the 1984 Olympics, leaving competitors in awe and spectators breathless. Honestly, we're still trying to catch our breath from your groundbreaking gold medal run—talk about setting a high bar!Even today, your legacy inspires runners everywhere to lace up their shoes and chase greatness (or at least jog around the block once). May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy—and perhaps fewer hills than that iconic Los Angeles course. Keep running strong; after all these years, you're still miles ahead of us all!
