This came to us from David Agosta (Lancaster , OH) and Bruce Kritzler (Sea Island, GA)
I'm not sure who first published it.
Not a story of a child in humble beginnings but a comment on the demands our sport makes on those who are trying to reach or stay on the highest peaks.
Cast aside the second helping at the dining room table. Put dessert on hold and get out for a few laps around the block.
Best wishes to all of you for 2019.
George , Roy, and Steve
Beginning our 14th year and 1,200+ postings. A blog for athletes and fans of 20th century Track and Field culled from articles in sports journals of the day, original articles, book reviews, and commentaries from readers who lived and ran and coached in that era. We're equivalent to an Amer. Legion post of Track and Field but without cheap beer. You may contact us directly at irathermediate@gmail.com or write a comment below. George Brose, Courtenay, BC ed.
