Athletics Is A Luxury.

Sport, Like All Of Life, Is About Taking Your Chances.

It Seems Quite Impossible To Walk In America.

The Essence Of Sports Is That While You're Doing It, Nothing Else Matters, But After You Stop, There Is A Place, Generally Not Very Important, Where You Would Put It.

My Introduction To Track Racing Was Through The Background Of Cross Country Running, Which Is Not A Sport Perhaps As Popular In America As It Is In England.

We Run, Not Because We Think It Is Doing Us Good, But Because We Enjoy It And Cannot Help Ourselves...the More Restricted Our Society And Work Become, The More Necessary It Will Be To Find Some Outlet For This Craving For Freedom. No One Can Say, 'you Must Not Run Faster Than This, Or Jump Higher Than That.' The Human Spirit Is Indomitable.
