Peter Maher (runner)
Peter Kevin Maher (born March 30, 1960 in Ottawa, Ontario) is a former Canadian marathon runner who competed mainly in the 1990s. He was a resident of Thornhill, a suburb of Toronto. He was credited for a brief period with the world record time for 25 km. Maher represented Canada in the Olympic men's marathons in Seoul, 1988 and Barcelona, 1992. He is said to be the originator of the quote "Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today." Maher also now runs a Sports Therapy Clinic in Carrigaline, Cork, Ireland.

gollark: The main issue I have with Matrix is that because it needs to keep all the room history ever and resolve events with it, in big (thousands of people and long history) rooms your server might run out of RAM.
gollark: Your client connects to a homeserver. That then connects to others to agree on what a room has in it.
gollark: No, they hold all the data for the rooms you talk in.
gollark: Rooms aren't tied to a homeserver but distributed through some complex state resolution thing.
gollark: Rooms are channels, homeservers host your data and participate in rooms.
