Brilliant mathematician Alan Turing was an excellent runner. He sometimes ran from Bletchley Park to London for meetings, a distance of about 64 km, and showed up in his running suit. His best marathon time came close to that of Olympic athletes of his day turing.org.uk/book/update/pa…

All religions, arts, and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling a person's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual toward freedom.' -Albert Einstein (YMCA Founder's Day Address)
