After regulation we already knew we were going for the win. Our season has been about going the extra mile and doing what we can to win. We wanted to clinch first place with a win, not a tie.

Jim Ingram

He went to the track and jogged a mile, and he was very happy to get out.

Tim Ritchey

I think this really stakes a claim that I'm a champion, ... I'm a competitor. If it means winning by an inch or a mile, I'm there.

George Eichert

You are looking at a pretty heavy train that would take at least a mile to stop.

Alan Webb

We get another 20 mile an hour day and we're right back where we were yesterday.

Keith Ebel

They may end up losing some of the air business, because that's where the major competitors like Federal Express, Airborne, DHL and companies like that are. But when you get into the under-500 mile surface package business, there's almost no competition.

John Pincavage

I think she needs further than six and she will get a mile in due course.

Joe Brancatelli

I think people are finding that BART is simply more economical than driving. When you consider that BART costs 20 cents per mile compared with driving for 69 cents per mile, you realize that BART is definitely the best buy in getting around the Bay Area.

Linton Johnson

The mile relay knew what they had to do in order to win. They were determined and they won the meet for us, they did a great job.

Chris Alonzo

It's a better explanation of what we do. Think of us as the last mile of ERP and CRM. We're the presentment guys, converting data to a readable form.

It doesn't matter if you win by a second or a mile, winning is winning!

Plus she ran the two mile and the 800 run.

Penny Moak

We got out and posted a good first mile. We had an excellent race and bunched up well and were able to do some things we've been working on in practice.

Al Knutson

He's what the game is all about. He's a 100 mile an hour guy all the time.

Bob Spoo

Darren Preston

In one-half mile, we can have good sidewalks, trees, and lighting.

Jon Depreter

He gave him a good ride. This horse loves this ground to be fair. I don't know what his best trip will be, somewhere around this mile maybe.

Gerry Gerlach

We never fish inside the three-mile contour to begin with.

Giuseppi Pennisi

She was very upset. She had a goal, and breaking a minute is a milestone like the four-minute mile.

Al Marks

We got clipped by one point. The two mile proved to be the difference tonight.

Chester Randell

We won 10 in a row at Lake Geneva (Raceway) with a Mid-Am car, and this is three times as big as that. This is the Milwaukee Mile. This is like Daytona for the little guys. I can't believe it.

Jeremy Miller

I'm too impatient for the mile. It just takes too long. It's four laps and I just want it to get over. I'm better with a shorter distance.

Miranda Heslep

I try to get every mile out of it, ... If I could get 60 or 70 miles, I would.

James Bowen

There is little doubt that raw sewage is routinely dumped upstream of intake much less than the required 2 mile distance.

Ben Carter

Literally, it was just less than a mile from my house. I have driven by these places for 20 years and never knew. It opens your eyes and energizes you to do something to help out.

Barry Williams

Going to the bowl and coming out, that's the mile that makes or breaks races.

Craig Forys

To drive a bus a mile, it costs us more than a dollar. That's a big increase - that's over a 100-percent increase from 45-cents to a dollar, but some neighboring parishes are going up as high as a dollar and a half.

Butch Williams

Never criticize a man until you've walked a mile in his moccasins.

Patrick Richardson

We are focused on kids a mile deep, and mass retailers are a mile wide and a few inches deep.

A home run is a home run and you don't want to give up a cheap one. That definitely wasn't a cheap one. There was about a 330-mile-per-hour wind and he hit it good. The ball just jumps here.

Bill Plummer

That gives you an idea what her stamina is mile after mile.

Cliff Robbins

We entered her in the 800 but we didn't have anyone in the mile and she stepped up and said she's run it. She came in second. It was a pleasant surprise.

Jenna Bond

It was nothing major. I crashed on the descent, although it was weird crashing a mile before it happened. I wasn't too happy with that.

Craig Lewis

He ran a smart mile.

Andy Reust

It was an engineering feat. Bill even equipped it with springs to take care of the recoil, and he got it elevated so that marble would shoot as far as half a mile. Even the grown-ups were impressed.

Mark Willis

Going a mile, I didn't know if we could handle everything. Our horse wants to run farther.

Dan Peitz

She drives it really well. And I bet she made a mile of putts today. She putts the lights out. I asked her for a putting lesson on one hole.

Kate Golden

We are trying to tie everything into The Citizen Downtown Mile. We just want to give people a little more to do.

John Stevens

The grid should be capable of withstanding 150 mile-per-hour winds.

Jimmy Harrison

There's 15,000 years of this square mile discussed in this book.

Morton O'kelly

If you have an address, we can take a center point and draw a mile radius and it will do calls out from that center point.

Greg Hellhake

It's pretty cool when you come out and break the school record for a mile.

Ron Pope

I think any manufacturer will split hairs for a tenth of a mile (per gallon) if they can. And now it becomes a marketing issue.

After about a mile I feel pretty tired, but I'm able to recover after that. I don't really know how I get through that - something inside me just tells me that I can.

Shannon Stacey

We're down to a visibility of an eighth of a mile here on the mesa.

Tim Brice

In the 1,600, I just wanted to go out and place. I like the 800 best, but I will run the mile. It felt good ... it was what we needed today.

Sarah Montminy

What you're going to see here is essentially a 13.1 mile party, ... This one will sell out early because of the strong running community in the Bay Area.

Tim Murphy

We don't want it to get across there. If it does it's within a half a mile of homes.

Stephen Miller

It was about a 3-mile stretch.

Dawn Hudson

Camille came inland about a mile and a half. Katrina's awesome strength moved inland for several miles and hit several communities up to Jackson.

Pete Johnson

His best distance is probably a mile-and?an-eighth to a mile-and-a-quarter. It's good to see that we can stretch him out from here.

Todd Pletcher

I've been waiting two months to get to this race. I've been saying the mile and an eighth can't get here fast enough for this horse.

Danny Peitz

We wanted to go that extra mile this time.

Steve Tarter

We had to walk from a mile away, but other than that, it's fine.

Justin Lehr

Matt had an outstanding day. He's a freshman and he won both the mile and the two-mile.

Phil Penza

He made a statement to this man that he'd just killed three people in Seven Mile Ford.

David Bradley

We're anticipating that the procession will probably take anywhere from about an hour to an hour and a half before completion. It's a 12-mile stretch, so we're anticipating that there will be traffic disruption, mainly through the downtown area.

Lt. Rafael Cintron

It makes them feel good about who and what they are when you go the extra mile for them.

Gary Cobb

The mile has all the elements of drama.

Roger Bannister

We put everything from college educations right on down on the charge card because we get a frequent flyer mile every time for every dollar that we spend. Hopefully the airline won't go out of business and we will be able to use them, I don't know.

Dianne Scott

If it's significantly faster than the first mile, the coach should have raised eyebrows.

Mark Anderson

I don't think so, because we do a lot on our own and we do a lot in practice. I have a good two-mile relay team that keeps me going.

Carly Benson

I had a 97 mile-an-hour fast ball, and I couldn't hit the plate. Like Nuke LaLoosh.

Dennis Lehane

Our girls expect to win the mile relay. If we get beat, it's like shock to them. However fast somebody runs, they're going to run fast enough to beat them.

Jack Rodman

During the fourth quarter our revenue growth was driven by a combination of fleet expansion and improved revenue per mile. We benefited from opening new service centers, increasing service in existing centers, and a full quarter of revenue from Edwards Bros. , which we acquired in August 2005.

Kevin Knight

This device was powerful enough that they felt the thud a mile or two away.

Crystal Candy

The thing that struck me the most about the situation was that if we had been about a mile and a half to the west of my house, we'd be in the eye of the hurricane.

Joey Kern

We were about done riding. He wanted to do another round, a mile or so. He was getting close to having 600 miles on his bike.

Brett Peterson

When I bought him, he worked an eighth of a mile in 102/5. That was the criteria my owner wanted: a well-bred horse that worked in 10 and change and didn't cost a couple hundred thousand. We would have given a lot more for him.

Jerry Hollendorfer

If he was to walk a mile up the road, he wouldn't be able to find his way home.

Jose Serrano

After the mile I really took off. I wanted to lose the Brookwood guys. I know that's mean. I like them all. But I still wanted to lose them because I know Mateker's really strong so I was hoping to drop him.

Michael Winston

The encouragement I get from my fellow players helps me a lot. We have some excellent players, guys who can hit that ball a mile a second. But they don't because we're down here to retire.

John Pullo

When March Madness is in Indianapolis, there's probably no other place that can have this kind of basketball in a mile square area.

Rick Fuson

Peter Alter

Our mile-and-a-half program has improved a good bit this year compared to last year.

Ryan Long

We really got on a roll and the guys competed hard. It came right down to the mile relay. It was pretty exciting.

Dave Hirsbrunner

To get to U.S. 178, you've got to take an 8-mile detour. If you can cut a 10-mile trip down to a 4-mile trip, it's less expensive, but if they need it [the construction], they need it.

Michael Craig

The Americans are at home and we are away. He's had a change of scenery and a change in racing conditions. There's less pressure if he runs in the Classic. If you run him in the Mile, he has to win. If he runs in the Classic and doesn't win, we can blame it on the dirt. All in all, it's very difficult, but it can be done.

Luca Cumani

While we did disclose it, we will go the extra mile to ensure there is no confusion.

Eryn Witcher
