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.

Humans are a TOUGH animal! We can do anything.

Setting goals that have already been achieved is a cop-out.

When you hit a certain spot you Sprint no matter how you feel inside or what your co-runner thinks. You just go! In training as a nickel, you sprint because you need to sprint! You just do it! In racing people see it and call it courage, but it is attitude; determination; duty.

Set a new standard. Change reality. Break ground to something new and different. That achievement will live forever just because you WERE somebody special!

News people were holding me up as a symbol of defiance to the boycott and I couldn't even run.

Goals should be impossible! You should tread FEARLESSLY where the brave dare not go.
