Two years ago I ran a 10k race at Moranbah which is about 2hrs drive from Mackay. Coming home on the plane I was sitting beside Benita Johnson. I was reading an article on David Beckham and his coach was singing his praises and the talent that he had. The most outstanding talent being Beckhams sense of peace with himself and how this flows over into his game.
I shared the article with Benita and commented that from what I could see it appeared that she was pretty much in the same mould and displayed a aura that she was very much at peace with herself. I said to Benita that if she could stay injury free and clear of illness that the World was at her feet.
Not even two years has passed and Benita Johnson has the World at her feet already. THE WORLD CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPION.
Congratulations Benita.
