		<description><![CDATA[We know Victoria Azarenka&#8217;s Australian story well, but what about the similar struggle of Sam Stosur? Two of the very best women tennis players. Two pressure situations. And two very different reactions, followed by similar explanations. *** In the second round of the Australian Open, ninth-seeded Sam Stosur was serving for the match.

		<description><![CDATA[From an Associated Press story: Ninth-seeded Samantha Stosur, who has spoken of her anxiety over playing in front of her home fans, served twice for the match but double-faulted on match point in a 6-4, 1-6, 7-5 loss to China&#8217;s Zheng Jie. &#8220;It was a bit of a choke,&#8221; Stosur admitted. &#8220;Obviously it&#8217;s a hard <span class="ellipsis">&#8230;</span> <span class="more-link-wrap"><a href="http://jonathonbraden.com/archives/714" class="more-link"><span>Read More ...</span></a></span>]]></description>

Gusts passed through the open windows of my apartment. It was 5:41 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 23. Omaha Marathon day. My mother couldn&#8217;t believe it, and I could barely myself.
