Enjoy the thoughtful comments of Michael Johnson, former WR for 200 meters and current WR holder for 400 meters! MJ shows in this video, quite frankly, what makes him a WR holder-
he wanted it more than others and he delivered it when the pressure was on him!
1968 Olympic gold medalist Bill Toomey said it best: You have to covet the gold medal, and
you have to want it more than anyone else. And, you better have a lot of luck!

Of RunBlogRun, his daily pilgrimage with the sport, Larry says: "I have to admit, I love traveling to far away meets, writing about the sport I love, and the athletes I respect, for my readers at runblogrun.com, the most of anything I have ever done, except, maybe running itself."

Theme song: Greg Allman, " I'm no Angel."
