You Learn To Run Like A Sprinter,

We May Train Or Peak For A Certain Race, But Running Is A Lifetime Sport.

I Didn't Give Myself Enough Breaks During The Training Year To Recover. I Didn't Understand The Power Of Periodization.

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.

Winning Times In The New York City Marathon Have Not Dropped All That Much Over The Years, But Rather U.s. Runners Went Backward. In 1983, There Were 267 U.s. Men Who Broke 2:20 In A Marathon, And By 2000 That Number Was Down To 27.

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.
