It is not the time spent with the child at their activity that is going to produce the highest level athlete. It is in supporting the child in an organized activity so the child can find what they truly like to do and let them go.

I think it is that parents just don't kick their kids out the door as much as they used to. I think the demise of sandlot sports has had a lot to do with it.

Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It's part of racing.

Because running fast is more fun than running slow.

I plan to be running as long as I can and have no plans to stop.

Numbers don't lie. You always seem to remember your workouts as being a little better than they were. It's good to go back and review what you do.

When you first run up First Avenue in New York, if you don't get goose bumps, theres something wrong with you.
