 I admire runners older than I - they are now my heroes. I want to be like them as I grow older. |
| Again, racing for me was about energy management. |
| Running with others can help get you out when you might otherwise blow it off. |
| There's obviously some validity to it. But I think it also points out that you obviously can do it on your own because people have been doing it long before they had the stuff. |

| Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It's part of racing. |
| So, in a way I was hedging and saying that if the Olympic stuff doesn't work out at least I can be a lawyer. |
| When you are caring about your children perhaps you always have to remember at what point you can become over involved because of something you need rather than something the child needs. |

| I started in law school in '71 and graduated in '74. So I was training for the Olympics, running or averaging around 20 miles a day and going to law school full time. |
| I think the secret of my light, quick, foot strike is related to the fact that I have fragile feet. |
| Hills are speedwork in disguise. |
| I also held several masters running titles. |
| Being in school is the best place to be if you are an athlete because you can structure your own time. |
