The Marathon Is Like A Bullfight.

With My Runners Now, They Get Two Month-long Breaks During The Year.

I Had As Many Doubts As Anyone Else. Standing On The Starting Line, We're All Cowards.

Whatever We Accomplish In Life, If It's Solely For Our Own Good, Then It Doesn't Mean That Much. The Things You Do That Affect Others In A Positive Way Are The Ones That Count. Whatever Facet Of Life You're In, God Has Given You A Gift; Do The Best You Can With That Gift.

I'm Interested In Dathan Ritzenhein's Future In The Marathon, And I Believe That's Where We Need To Address Some Issues He Seems To Have. He's Had Good Marathon Coaches - Both Brad Hudson And Me. He's Figured Out The Fueling. He's Got This Incredible Aerobic Engine. But Something's Still Wrong.

I've Run A Lot Of Miles Over The Years, Some Fast And Some Not So Fast. I've Won Some Big Races And I've Had Some Big Disappointments, But I Enjoy The Freedom Of Running And The Challenge Of Training And Competition As Much Now As When I First Started Back In High School.
