Back to The Track
At age 13 I decided that I liked running. It didn't make sense. I think runners are crazy. At first I didn't mind the longer slower runs. After awhile I craved the faster more intense distances. I fell in love with track and field middle distance races and haven't been the same since.
There are numerous reasons why I never reached my potential at a younger age. All of those reasons are not important anymore. I will look at me right now and only worry about the one thing that matters. The direction I am heading. I am 25 years old. 169lb. I am going to run the 800m again. It has been about 10 years since I stepped on the start line of a 800m race. I remember everything about it. I have a long way to go.
A quote by Steve Prefontaine, my favorite runner :
"I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it. "
