But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field - to enhance their physical appearance.

   

So, I got a lot of recruitment letters from track.

   

You have a lot of people on the run and really don't have time to sit down and eat a balanced meal.

   

If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of old teammates.

   

I am a firm believer in if you can't get it the old fashioned way, you don't need it.
