"...Or we can blaze! Become legends in our own time, strike fear in the heart of mediocre talent everywhere! We can scald dogs, put records out of reach! Make the stands gasp as we blow int an unearthly kick from three hundred yards out! We can become God's own messengers delivering the dreaded scrolls! We can race dark Satan himself till he wheezes fiery cinders down the back straightaway...They'll speak our names in hushed tones, 'those guys are animals' they'll say! We can lay it on the line, bust a gut, show them a clean pair of heels. We can spring the turn on a spring breeze and feel the winter leave our feet! We can, by God, let our demons loose and just wail on!"
Once A Runner
Another repeat today -- things change next week. Here it is:
35 minutes FRESH; 6x100m Strides.
Today's picture is the 1910 Harvard Football Team -- not a running picture. But I thought a good combo picture with our quote for today. In the second row all the way on the right is our founding Head of School Perry Dunlap Smith. 100 years ago today he had finished the 5th year of the schools existence. He was becoming a legend and this picture always reminds me of the start of that process.
