Running Quote of the Day
Friday, March 26th, 2010“When I was 12 or 13, the first day I went out, there was a mile cross country race on and they said, ‘You can’t compete, you’re too young,’ because it was a race with 18-year-olds and like that, and I cried, literally cried, because they wouldn’t let me run the race. So they said, ‘Okay,’ and I beat all these guys who were 18 and over, because I wanted to accept the challenge.”

First of all, can you say run on sentence? Second, ever since I’ve been running, I’ve had the utmost respect for young runners. I remember running a 5K and busting my ass to keep up with a 12-year-old.
