My Athleticism Was Really The Core To

I Was Always A Great Bundle Of Energy. As A Child, Instead Of Walking, I Would Run. And So Running, Which Is A Pain To A Lot Of People, Was Always A Pleasure To Me Because It Was So Easy.

Whether We Athletes Liked It Or Not, The 4-minute Mile Had Become Rather Like An Everest: A Challenge To The Human Spirit, It Was A Barrier That Seemed To Defy All Attempts To Break It, An Irksome Reminder That Men's Striving Might Be In Vain.

May Is A Very Early Time In The Year And The Weather Is Usually Bad. You Cannot Run A Fast Mile Race If There Is A Strong Wind, Because It Makes Your Running Uneven.

My Family Actually Lived In The Same Village For About 400 Years. They Had Great Stability Until The Last Century. People Lived And Intermarried In Small Villages.

The Mile Has All The Elements Of A Drama.
