I remember my mile and 2 mile PBs from high school like they were yesterday.

I ran my mile PB at Fremont High School in San Jose, CA in March of 1976. The race was won by Joe Mangan, who would go on to be the head coach of Foothill College in Los Altos, CA some fifteen years later. What I recall about the race is that I actually kicked the last 300 meters hard, finishing six seconds behind Joe, in 4:45.4. I had already run the 2 mile in 10:38, another PB. What I recall is how good I felt finishing.

NUGUSE SMASHES AMERICAN RECORD FOR THE MILE: 3:43.97

The 2 mile PB was at a big Invitational. It was about two weeks before the League finals, so late April 1976. The meet was called the King City Invitational. I believe that there were at least 50 in the event. The race was won in about 9:20, and I remember, again, feeling good each lap and kicking the last lap, finishing in 10:28.0, a ten second PB. My parents and girlfriend were there, which made it extra special. I finished 38th in a field of 50.

I hurt my foot the week before League finals, and did not run well. I trained over the summer with my best friend, Bob Lucas. We were both going to Santa Clara, and we wanted to be fit. So we raced our first 10ks, one hour run championships and 10,000m on the track that summer. It was fun, and it lead to a life long involvement in the sport.

Enjoy the race. Focus on the moment and challenge yourself to something unknown.
