I had as many doubts as anyone else. Standing on the starting line, we're all cowards.

I'm a traditional marathoner with a shuffling stride... I'm not the prettiest runner in the world, but I am efficient.
Early in my career I was accused of being overconfident and even cocky, but I really was confident that I had done the training and didn't see any other reason to say otherwise.
I've run a lot of miles over the years, some fast and some not so fast. I've won some big races and I've had some big disappointments, but I enjoy the freedom of running and the challenge of training and competition as much now as when I first started back in high school.
This used to be a shipbuilding yard.
We may train or peek for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport.
