marc [sustain release] ✅40 years ago #onthisday at the 1984 #Olympics in #LosAngeles the 37-year-old #CarlosLopes won the first #GoldMedal for #Portugal at the #marathon.
He originates from #Viseu, the birthplace of my parents. We actually even ended up living in the same neighborhood. When I was about to turn 38 Lopes' legacy (and the one from #RosaMota, as well) inspired me to start #running myself. 🏃♀️ #mastorunners
