Coghlan Outran The Black Dog, Too
Eamonn Coghlan Outran His Demons
By Ciara Dwyer

Sunday October 30 2011
Last summer, Eamonn Coghlan was coming off Mount Juliet golf course, where he'd been playing at a Special Olympics charity event, when his phone flashed with a text message. It said "phone Enda" and it was urgent. Assuming that it was Enda Fitzpatrick, his son John's athletics coach in DCU, Coghlan contacted the number and asked if everything was OK.
The voice at the other end of the phone said, "Enda Kenny here."
"An Taoiseach?" replied the respectful Coghlan.
It was then that Kenny told the former athlete that he wanted to nominate him as one of his independent senators.
"He had some very nice things to say," says Coghlan, the soul of modesty and discretion.
And why wouldn't Kenny praise him? Coghlan is a legend in world athletics, one of the greatest Irish sportsmen of this or any other generation. A three-time Olympian, he was one of the greats of middle-distance running and won the World Championships 5,000 metres in Helsinki in 1983. But it wasn't gold medals all the way. Olympic glory was not for him. Three times it evaded him -- in 1976, 1980 and 1988. His tactics let him down -- by sprinting too soon and over-training. As he says himself, "I screwed up, big time." But he is far from bitter. "I don't begrudge it or look back with any regret. I made some stupid mistakes and I learned from them."
Coghlan's life has been the embodiment of the epitaph on his late coach Gerry Farnan's gravestone: "Don't quit when you are beaten. Fight back to an even more glorious victory, not only in competition but in life." In total the Dublin-born athlete ran 78 sub-four-minute miles, the most magnificent in Boston in 1994, when at the age of 41, having packed in a bureaucratic job in Dublin in the BLE (Bord Luthchleas na hEireann -- the Irish Athletics Board), he went back to do what he did best, running. He went out on a high, having fought back to an even more glorious victory with the superb time of 3:58.15.
The sporting hero is as impressive today as he ever was as "chairman of the boards and master of the mile", to use the nicknames he was given for his running prowess. Coghlan glows good health and dynamism, and were it not for his very likeable personality, he would make most men green with envy; at the age of 58, he still has the same size waist that he had when he was 16, 20, 30 and 40 -- 30-inches.
"It's simple. I don't over-eat," he says. "I used to train a hundred miles a week but now I go out two or three times a week or I mightn't go for a week or two. I'd always be busy, busy, busy. I don't watch what I eat. It's just that the good habits of my athletic life have remained with me. I wouldn't be a mad beer drinker and I like to have my glasses of wine but when it comes to eating, I'd eat small portions as opposed to pigging out and I'd burn it off.
"It's all about what you take in and what you put out. Health and fitness is simple. You have to work on your core. It's like with anything in life. People go to pot because they don't work on their core. Most people in Ireland and in the world are generally lazy when it comes to fitness but the more you get into a routine, the easier it becomes."
As a senator, he is working on two things -- health and education. All shall be revealed in November, he tells me.
Coghlan trains young athletes (he has a bunch of promising young men), he still helps with the fundraising for Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin, -- in particular the Children's Medical Research Foundation -- including for tomorrow's marathon. One of his aims is to raise more money for this good cause by bringing a team to New York next year for the marathon, just as he did 20 years ago.
He also chairs the high-performance committee within the Irish Sports Council.
He does all that when he's not zooming around on his motorbike, which he often uses to get him in to the Seanad, where he peels off his bike gear and emerges immaculate in a suit.
But family is what matters most to Coghlan. He tells me that when he first met his wife Yvonne at a disco in O'Connell's School, he was mad about her. "She's still great," he says, "but by God ... " And then he knocks on the table. I'd say there's no messing with Yvonne, his wife of 35 years. Coghlan credits her with being the more mature one all those years ago when he wanted to drop out of Villanova, when he was on a sports scholarship. Yvonne told him in no uncertain terms that she wouldn't be responsible for him leaving his running career. If he left it, she would leave him. Coghlan tells me that Yvonne has always been part of the team and people often comment that she's like a coach to him.But back to the nomination. On the day that the Taoiseach called, Coghlan was told that he had an hour and a half to think about it but he didn't dither. He knew it was an honour and duly accepted.
"I was gobsmacked," Senator Coghlan told me when I met him in Leinster House last week. "And I was very honoured.
"I phoned Yvonne and she said, 'Are you serious?' I said, 'I am serious.'"
Even now there are days when he looks at his reflection in the mirror and asks, is this for real?
Why does he think Kenny nominated him?
"I would be a very positive person and I try to instil self-confidence and self-belief and drive into the little kids I train even though some of them might never end up running professionally."
Add to that the fact that Coghlan has character. Just like in the Kipling poem If, he has met triumph and disaster and taken both of them on the chin. They have made him the man he is today.
"I've broken world records, I've lost the Olympics and I've won World Championships," he says. In 1983, when he won the gold medal in Helsinki, Ireland came to a virtual standstill. Coghlan's race was all the more thrilling for his famous final spurt when he passed Dmitriy Dmitriyev, as he raised his fists in the air. The victory was all the sweeter when people knew the bad patch he had had before it. His first coach Gerry Farnan and his father Bill had both died and he had failed to shine in the Olympics. All of a sudden, his time had come.
"The fact that I came back is even better and the fact that I can relay [how to cope with] disappointment to the young kids that I coach is even better again."
Coghlan doesn't so much walk, as run. His energetic gait is a great sight to behold. As the newly appointed senator bounds down the steps of Leinster House to greet me, I can't help sitting up straighter, then smiling. Before he appears in front of me, I listen to him chatting to an usher. He has time for everyone and lovely manners. But this isn't just surface charm, there's a decent core to Coghlan. Twice a week, he visits his mother Kathleen, who, thanks to the Fair Deal scheme, is in a TLC nursing home. And his eyes fill as he tells me about the joys of fatherhood. He and Yvonne have four children -- Suzanne, Eamonn, Michael and John.
"It's been fantastic and it still is. And being a grandfather is even the same. We have two grandchildren. You're making me emotional now, but I am more proud about my family than running. We've a great relationship. My kids still come on summer holiday with Mam and Dad, even at 30 years of age. We're pals. I never talked down to the kids. We respected them and we got that respect back."
Respect is one of the main things about Coghlan. He gives it and it gets it back, and not just in his family.
Growing up on Cooley Road, Drimnagh, Coghlan was always running to the shops to get messages for the women on the road. Because he was fast, he got an extra few pence. It wasn't long before he was running races in the Phoenix Park, winning and loving it. Coghlan was mildly dyslexic (he still is) and he was bullied in school, yet the running saved him.
He learned great life lessons about resilience from his first coach Gerry Farnan, who kept his eye on the big picture. Later, coach Jumbo Elliot at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, was equally influential. In many ways, Coghlan's years in America formed him. It gave him a self-belief and a self-confidence. In Ireland, he knew that confidence was perceived as cockiness -- he doesn't blame Ireland, saying instead that this is an islanders' mentality. But America's can-do attitude was the making of him; along with the endless miles of hard training."It was a gradual transformation," he says, "but I realised that I was just as good as these guys in Villanova. If they were that confident, why couldn't I be too? It was a combination of growing self -belief, natural talent and the work. Those three things started to merge and then I became really confident about everything I was doing on the track.
"I still feel like a runner and think like a runner, even though I can't run like a runner anymore in terms of the competitive side because I'm too old [but] you have that in you."
Coghlan isn't a depressive but he understands depression; he suffered from it for a spell when he came back from the States, having retired from athletics the first time.
"I was seriously depressed, frighteningly depressed from the point of view that I didn't enjoy anything. When I'd wake up in the morning, I wanted to sleep all day long.
"I'd left America, where I had a life of adulation, limousines here, limousines there, whatever you wanted you got."
He came home to a very different scene, where he found the job in sports administration a difficult environment to cope with. "The political life in the Seanad is an awful lot better than that political life in sport and you can quote that," he said.
In his autobiography, Chairman of the Boards -- Master of the Mile (which was written with George Kimball) Coghlan recalls how he even felt suicidal.
"I was totally swamped with depression. It was a horrible, black feeling that induced an almost chemical-like low and despondency. It was like nothing I had ever previously experienced."Weeks later, while driving to a BLE meeting, he found himself having to fight an urge to drive into the Liffey.
"I fought the impulse and pulled the car over to the side of the road and felt myself hyperventilating with the shock of what I had just thought. I saw no way out. I used to be the happy-go-lucky full of energy guy but I was feeling weak and miserable and felt a pathetic sight in Dublin's Docklands resisting an impulse to commit suicide."
Coghlan made an appointment with a doctor in Blackrock Clinic who told him that he was exhibiting classic signs of a form of depression.
"He [ the doctor] explained that there were understandable anxieties prompted by the end of my running career and the move back to Ireland."
He was prescribed an anti-depressant drug and took two weeks off work but he didn't feel any better. Finally, Eamonn wrote a letter of resignation saying that he was leaving because the chief executive of BLE had no executive powers. When he posted the letter it was as if the weight of the world had been lifted from his shoulders. He resigned for himself and his family and never looked back.
As we all know, he then left the BLE and went back to do what he did best -- running. Nor does he dwell on the disappointments of the Olympics. He is grateful for having lived that dream and then eventually bouncing back to glory.
"I'd visualise myself winning a race. Before I'd leave my room, the last thing I'd do was look in the mirror and whisper, 'come on you little f**ker. You better win this race.' But this isn't just about sport, it's about life. It's all about vision and dream and belief. But you can't sit on your ass and do nothing. You've got to have the discipline to go with it."
Coghlan is happy with his life. That's because he has worked on it. He is even a good loser. "I'm captain of Luttrellstown Castle Golf and Country Club but I'm so bloody bad at golf, people don't believe it. They think this former athlete should be a great sportsman. I play with guys who might be 20 stone in weight, who have cigars hanging out of their mouths but they're able to play great golf. It's embarrassing, but I'm a good loser. I enjoy the banter and the challenge of trying to bloody well get a par."
That's the key to Eamonn Coghlan. He enjoys his life and as a result people enjoy his company. I know I certainly did.Eamonn has been working with Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin as their ambassador for this year's National Lottery Dublin Marathon. 'Team Eamonn Coghlan' has helped raise money for the Children's Medical & Research Foundation (CMRF) at Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin as part of its Kilometres for Kids Campaign.

Runner's Tribe Quickie with Mathew Mildenhall
Runner's Tribe Interview with Villanova's Mathew Mildenhall
RT: You guys are off to Louisville for Conference this weekend, can you guys emulate the All Blacks and win while doing it the hard way?
MM: The guys and I are really looking forward to this weekend. We’re expecting it to be just as much of a nail bitter as the AB’s [New Zealand's All Blacks rugby team] over the Frogs (Editors note: The Runner’s Tribe does not take responsibility for Mathews racial comments regarding the sovereign state of France). However, we do have a few Kiwi’s in our way, with the boys at Providence running awesome this year, but we’re looking forward to the showdown. The Big East is such a big deal for both the team and the coaching staff and this is the first time in a decade we have had a legitimate chance at taking home the title. So we’ll take it anyway we have to run it (be it ugly or not).
RT: Typically you have finished the money-end of each season as Villanova’s no.1 guy both on and off the course, are you starting to find some form?
MM: This year definitely hasn’t gone according to plan. I’ve really come to realize how big of a toll stress can play on a runner. Unfortunately this is part and parcel with being a student athlete at such an academically rigorous school. It has been a combination of a few things that we think (my coaches and I) has left me pretty drained. Things are turning around for the better, and after a great summer and an even better opener at the Mainline Invite I know the form is there. It’s really great to have a team of studs who have stepped up and kept us competitive while a few of the guys get back on track.
RT: Two years ago your team was 11th in the country and you were All-American, yet last year you didn’t quite match the same success. What happened?
MM: Last year was one of those years where things didn’t seem to click across the board, which is a tough thing to swallow on the back of such a good season the year before. We had a few injuries and illnesses take down some of our top guys early, but again we had guys step up to keep the momentum rolling. In fact I would say that a lot of guys left the season on a high note. We really got up and had a stella run at regional’s (considering the circumstances) placing second behind a very good Princeton team. NCAA’s was always going to be tough running against such a high caliber field especially when things aren’t going exactly to plan. We ended up 23rd which is honestly where we were probably expected to fall.
RT: Your team mates Matt Gibney and Keith Capecci are both running well this season and will be huge factors at Conference, who do you think would win in a mud-wrestling fight between those two?
MM: To your first point: The boys are really leading the charge out there this season! It’s great to see Gibney showing us distance boys how it’s done, and Keith being a Bawse as usual.
Now to the meat of your question: That’s a huge call. You have two large Alpha males squaring off. This thing is definitely going late into the 12th. If I’m going to go with my gut I’d have to go with Keith. Having had experience with the big guy in the ring I can say first hand that he knows how to get the job done. However if you’ve ever seen the Gibinator with 100 to go you know he won’t go down without a fight. I say Keith gets it in a choke out- give or take some hair pulling.
RT: I heard that you are engaged to be married, is that true?
MM: Mathew declined to offer a legitimate response to this question obviously due to the seriousness of the situation. We at The Runner’s Tribe wish him all the best.

Reid & Mimic Go 1-2, Lead Villanova to Big East XC Title
4th Consecutive Title Makes 14 Overall
The Villanova women won their fourth consecutive Big East cross country championship today in Louisville, KY. It represented the women's 14th overall Big East XC title. Thanks to the 1-2 finish of Sheila Reid and Bogdana Mimic, and a strong overall team performance, Villanova was able to defeat three national top-10 teams in #7 Providence, #6 Georgetown, and #8 Syracuse. It wasn't easy, as Providence was only 9 total places off of Villanova's performance. One key to the team win was the performance of Callie Hogan, who came home ahead of the #5 runners from Providence, Georgetown and Syracuse and secured the victory. "It took a complete team effort for us to win today and that is exactly what happened," coach Gina Procaccio said. "Everyone had to set up for us and I am so proud of our runners for getting their job done. It was a great team effort and that is what makes this championship so fulfilling for us." Reid's victory was her third straight Big East individual cross country title. "We point to this meet in training and the team was ready to get the job done today," Procaccio said. "Winning a conference championship gives us great momentum moving forward into the next three weeks."

Villanova Men Dominate Big East XC Championships
The 16th-ranked Villanova men showed off their great depth today in Louisville, KY, winning the Big East cross country title in dominating fashion. The men won the meet with a mere 43 points (a 51 point margin over the runner up Georgetown Hoyas). The men's top five boasted a tiny 15.9 second spread (with Villanova's 6th Mathew Mildenhall only a second behind #5). Villanova had its 6th finisher in the chute before any other of the top five teams had its 2nd runner home. Coach Marcus O'Sullivan had this to say about the team's performance: "We were able to win a championship because the guys came to understand during the week that an opportunity like this does not come around all that often. When you have this much depth and a very talented team there is an opportunity to do really well. Our entire team realized that the only way to have their talent shine through was to fight for it and have a desire to win. Nobody was going to give us a championship; we had to take it and the team understood that sense of urgency." Six Villanova men made All Big East. Georgetown was runner up, with Louisville third. #14 Providence finished fifth."Winning today takes some pressure off of me as well as the whole team," O'Sullivan said. "My last words to the guys were not to rest on our laurels for too long. I want them to understand just how good we are and then move on from there. We can savor this for a couple of hours and then get going again as we move forward towards the next two postseason meets."

USATF Spotlight: Bobby Curtis
Athlete Spotlight - Bobby Curtis
10/28/2011
When Bobby Curtis steps to the starting line at next weekend’s ING New York City Marathon, it will mark a long progression in his running career. There will be points during the race he wonders how he even got there.
There was a time when competing in a marathon, which Curtis will do for the first time next Saturday, wasn’t even an option and no way he thought 129 miles in one week were possible. He will think back on how times have changed.
“Four years ago I thought that 90 minutes was a long run,” Curtis said in an interview from Mammoth Lakes, Calif., where he has been training. “Now two and a half hours is a long run. The distance has changed drastically and my perception has changed. I’m doing things now that seemed out of reach before. Things you didn’t think were possible.”
Regardless of the path he took, Curtis will join the likes of fellow elite runners Ed Moran, Lauren Fleshman and Molly Pritz who will all be making their marathon debuts in New York. The reasons for choosing to run a fall marathon all came down to timing for Curtis.
“I’m about at that age when you have to decide if you are going to run one,” the 26-year-old said of his marathon debut. “The time is right.”
Curtis was quick to point out the decision to run next weekend in New York does not change his mindset or goals for the coming year. He ran the second fastest 10,000-meter time by an American in 2011 of 27:24.67. His goals are to represent Team USA at the 2012 Olympic Games in the 10,000m instead of the marathon.
Ironically, his 2011 performance in the 10,000m also played a role in Curtis electing to run in the New York City Marathon. It was following his fourth place finish at the latest USA Outdoor Championships when, after missing a spot on the squad for the World Outdoor Championships, he began talk of a fall marathon.
“It just worked out time-wise,” he said. “Running New York allowed me time to recover from the track season. It’s right before the (Olympic Marathon) Trials so not many of the top Americans will be focused on a fall marathon, which leaves it a bit open.
“Outside of the Olympics, the New York City Marathon is one of the biggest in the sport. You really can’t beat it.”
While committed to the 10,000m on the track, there always stands the possibility of a breakout performance in the marathon. A performance good enough to make Curtis seriously consider running the Olympic Trials Marathon January 14 in Houston.
“Never say never I guess,” Curtis said with a laugh. “If I run 2:09 it would be almost foolish not to run the Trials. But I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself.”
With taking on anything for the first time comes a great deal of anxiety. There are numerous small issues that can arise through the duration of a 26.2-mile race. Curtis has sought the advice of 2004 Olympic marathon silver medalist Meb Keflezighi, 50 km American record holder Josh Cox and Mammoth Track Club coach Terrence Mahon to help in his preparation. Keflezighi will also be competing in the New York City Marathon and is the 2009 winner of the race.
“There is definitely some anxiety,” Curtis admitted. “Since I have been doing so well in training I don’t want something small to go wrong. This is uncharted territory. The anxiety is about something small.”
It was the progression to his first marathon that Curtis felt years ago would never be a possibility. Considering his path, it raises the question if the next step in his running career will be an ultra-marathon.
“Not a chance,” Curtis quickly concluded.

Curtis at Two Weeks Out: Hard Work is Done
2 Weeks Out: Hay is in the Barn
Bobby Curtis on October 26, 2011, 12:51pm FloTrack.org
Hay is in the Barn
Well, all the hard work is done. My final big week of training in Mammoth Lakes went smoothly. For the week I hit a mildly impressive 110 miles with two 20+ days. Now I guess is the time to rest up, and focus on all the small details that can make or break a marathon on race day. I’m confident in my fueling strategy, carbohydrate loading plan and pacing expectations; however, I’m unsure of my facial hair choice or if I’ll go with sunglasses or without…good thing I have a few days!
Detailed Training
Monday: 7500ft. 9 miles AM run at around 6:30 pace, 6 miles in the PM run at 7:00 pace

After 6 Year Absence, Jen Rhines Is Back in the 26.2 Business
From Runner's World Racing News, October 21, 2011
For Jen Rhines, there was a time not so long ago when she thought she was done with the marathon, despite making the U.S. Olympic team at the distance in 2004. The 37-year-old, who trains with the Mammoth Track Club in Mammoth Lakes, CA, went back to the track after her last marathon in 2006 and earned a spot on the 2008 Olympic squad at 5000 meters, making it hard to argue with her decision. So, there was much surprise when she decided to run the ING New York City Marathon this year. Rhines said this week that her training has left her both excited and confident about re-tackling the distance.
"For a few years, long runs had become very difficult for me and it left me with no desire to race for over 26 miles!" Rhines wrote earlier this week in an e-mail. "However, last winter [training for the Chevron Houston Half-Marathon, which she won in a personal best 1:11:14] was a turning point for me and I've been getting stronger ever since."
Rhines competed in late August at 10,000 meters in the IAAF World Championships, placing ninth, then jumped right into training for the marathon. "The transition from peaking for World Champs into training for New York went more smoothly than I thought it might," she says, adding that she hasn't raced since Daegu. "I've done a lot of quality training in a relatively short amount of time," she explained, adding that she's heading down from the altitude of Mammoth to San Diego this weekend to put on the finishing touches before heading to New York. "As someone who's struggled in more than one marathon I think I understand what I'm getting myself into and I've left no stone unturned in my preparation for New York this year."What's next after New York? A well-deserved post-race trip to Maui with her husband and coach [and former Villanova All-American -- BC], Terrence Mahon.
Interview with Nic Bideau -- Mentor to Blincoe & Curtis
(and Husband of Sonia O'Sullivan)
Here's a fresh interview from the Runner's Tribe with Aussie Nic Bideau, who coaches both Bobby Curtis and Adrian Blincoe.
RT Interview: Catch up with Nic Bideau
posted by rtross on October 19, 2011, 10:56pm
RT: Nic, thanks for your time. It was an up and down year overseas for your athletes. Let’s start with Jeff Riseley. He failed in Daegu over 1500m yet stunned us in Rieti over 800m. What are your thoughts for him come the London Olympics in terms of what event he has the best shot at?
NB: That’s really up to Jeff to decide. He is qualified in both but it will be his decision as to which event he focuses on at the trial. I haven’t got around to talking about that with Jeff yet. I am more concerned with him getting fit again and improving on the areas that let us down in 2011 before I worry about which event he does. Whichever event he decides on won’t affect his training over the next few months so there is still a lot of time for that to unfold.
RT: Moving onto Zoe Buckman. She came on strong and was unlucky to miss the team for Daegu. Do you think the selectors should have made room for her?
NB: Well if she does make the team to London we’ll be sending an athlete that has had no experience at a global major championship as a result of not sending her to Daegu. I think there is so much for our athletes to learn about racing in championship conditions against the very best that we are foolish not to take the opportunity to give an emerging athletes such as Zoe experience in that situation ahead of the main event – the Olympics.
RT: Likewise, Lachlan Renshaw. He had a B-qualifer but was left at home. Australia ended up having no starters for the men’s 800m, when the selectors could have easily placed Renshaw in the line-up. Do you see any point in not selecting athletes like Renshaw or Buckman for such teams?NB: I think the IAAF make the rules as to which athletes they will accept entries for. I don’t see why we need to place the bar higher than the IAAF set it at. We don’t make our tracks longer down here do we! If we want to encourage people to put their lives on hold to pursue this sport we should be selecting them if we can.
RT: Another of your chargers, Kaila McKnight, had a great year, lowering her personal best over 1500m to 4:05 and making the semi in Daegu for the 1500m. Do you think Kaila can take that next step in-between now and London to hopefully see her in that final?
NB: I don’t think Kaila has finished improving. Kaila had a very good year but I can still see areas where she can improve. Hopefully she can take another step forward in 2012.
RT: Ryan Gregson has had more than a few injury concerns. Are you confident that he has put these behind him now?
NB: Let’s hope so. We’ve certainly taken plenty of measures to try and ensure he can put his injury concerns behind him. Hopefully he’ll get a good run from now and put the training weeks together and give himself a real shot and competing with the very best next year.
RT: Ryan stated in an interview with us last week that he wants to build his mileage to around the 220 km per week mark once his biomechanics problems have been resolved. Was he taking the piss here or is that a realistic goal?NB: He was exaggerating. Ryan would never do more than 210km in a week!
RT: Was Ben St Lawrence’s 10,000m Australian record the highlight of the year for you?
NB: That was a great race as both he and Bobby Curtis who had been training together beat a lot of quality runners. It was a good night as Eloise also qualified there. But 2011 was always about trying to get as many people qualified for London as we could. All up counting Bobby Curtis (USA) and Adrian Blincoe (NZ) there are 9 people in my group with the A standard this year. I had hoped at least 3 more would have done that by now so they could all be going into the Olympic year without having to worry about chasing that and focus more on preparing for the Games. But with that as the main target for 2011, every time an athlete ran the A standard was a highlight.
RT: A lot gets discussed/argued amongst athletes and coaches around the country about just how much speed work your athletes do. Can you provide details on how you build speed up in guys like Riseley and Gregson whilst maintaining their aerobic engines?
NB: Well they are naturally quite fast guys and they remain fast by running fast regularly. There is nothing about building aerobic endurance that erodes speed. Mo looked pretty quick in the last lap in Daegu didn’t he? People lose their speed if they don’t practice it. So while we focus heavily on building aerobic endurance, the athletes also regularly work on their speed by running fast.
RT: What do you think about the new world record rule for women’s road running?
NB: I think there are plenty other women world records that have been aided by much more than male pacemakers that we should be cleaning up first.
RT: Up and comers to watch out for?
NB: Jordy Williamsz can improve a lot in 2012 and Brett Robinson will be going quietly as he does but he will also run a lot better next year. I also hope a couple of the super talents we have known about for a while can stay healthy next year and start to string some performances together – people like Alex Rowe and Emily Brichacek.
