Thanks for the wonderful piece on Perfect Mile. Authors aren’t supposed to have favorite books, but between us, this is in my top 3. I never made that connection with Seabiscuit, particularly the drawing back from training to enjoy the pleasure of speed. Bannister’s coach Franz Stampfl did the same thing with Roger shortly before he broke four-minutes. In his case, an adventure in Scotland to free his mind.

Terrell, I love the way you connect the dots so that 1+1=3. Powerful and compelling and demonstrates your “intuitive ability” to trust yourself and see the bigger picture. You will soon discover “less is more” when you wean yourself from all that distracting technology. Your body clock knows what time it is and your heart knows what is necessary and what is not. You are clearly on your way to “Know Thyself” an imperative modern man truly doesn’t get....I apologize for the unsolicited advice.
