Speedwork is terribly overrated! I remember talking to runners after distance races and someone is sure to say they were able to run fast off base work with no speed work at all. The truth is speedwork doesn't work. Lots of miles, and then fast miles gets you there much quicker than speed work.

The only thing that lives beyond the grave is the wake you have created by the way you have lived your life; the goals you have set; the distance away from the normal you dared to tread.

I thought perhaps people with injuries could be subject to a starters gun to cure them.

I should be doing that too. I should be out there running and racing. I should be taking care of my body.

We didn't keep track of how many miles we ran back then. We just ran. If you LOVE to run with the kind of passion I have for running, you will understand this. Running was my mode of transportation.

There is NOTHING you can do with your running time that is better for you than running. Any other activity only pulls you down and erases passion.

This life is made to change all reality. We are here for the benefit, happiness, and welfare of a new reality; a new direction.
