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

Based on my experience; I would develop fast speed before anything else. Get your young runners so they can run and teach them speed.

I always enjoyed the training more than I did the racing. There was a high level of anxiety in racing that I did not enjoy. Training runs set me FREE. I could imagine the race in my mind and race as if it were the actual race.

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

The 3-minute mile goal is to teach runners that the impossible is where goals should be set.

I started running in Junior High School. I was so slow and uncoordinated the coach set me up with a paper route so that instead of going to work out after school I went to the corner of Providence Ave at Crestline St. and picked up a bundle of 15 newspapers.

I would instill in my team an attitude of role modeling. We run to teach other people the value of physical activity. In all things, be humble and appreciative; hurt no one; help anyone you can.
