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'd Rather Run A Gutsy Race, Pushing All The Way And Lose, Than Run A Conservative Race Only For A Win.
