One World Running Director Ana Weir was named a 2005 Hero of Running by Runner’s World magazine. She was honored at a gala celebration on Nov. 4, two days before the ING New York City Marathon. It was a wonderful award for Ana, who puts in so much work for the project. In the photo on the right, she and World Championship 100-meter gold medalist Lauryn Williams smile for the camera. Let’s hope this is the start of a great 2006 for Ana and the shoe project, and runners around the world.
