When You First Get A Hill In

I Couldn't Wait Until I Grew Up. I Used To Look At My Mom's Stockings And Put Them On With Her High Heels And Mess With My Hair.

I Was Always Doing Something Physical. My Brothers And I Used To Have Handstand Contests. We'd Walk Around The Projects On Our Hands And See Who Could Get The Farthest. I Was Always Playing Football With Them, Basketball Or Racing In The Street.

People Want To Think That Staying In Shape Costs A Lot Of Money. They Couldn't Be More Wrong. It Doesn't Cost Anything To Walk. And It's Probably A Lot Cheaper To Go To The Corner Store And Buy Vegetables Than Take A Family Out For Fast Food.

I Believe In The Impossible Because No One Else Does.

To Do Justice To A Lifelong Dream Of Being A Writer, I Must Give It The Intense Concentration And Focus I Gave To Track. To Do Both With Excellence Is Not Possible. It Is With A Sense Of Sadness And Joyous Anticipation That I Leave Track And Move On.
