She ran the 2009 Boston marathon and finished 2nd with a time of 2:32:17. After finishing the race, she collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital.

She has been running the gamut of half marathons and marathon with variable results.

She holds the world record for the One Hour running of 18.517 kilometres set in the year 2008 in Ostrava.

This was shot in Bangalore in 2010 in May near the Vidhan Soudha and the the Cubbon Park.
Levitation while running is what the Ethiopian runners do. I wish the Indians would learn a trick or two and they think they are the masters of levitation. or should I say..were.
