If A Man Coaches Himself,

Doctors And Scientists Said Breaking The Four-minute Mile Was Impossible, That One Would Die In The Attempt. Thus, When I Got Up From The Track After Collapsing At The Finish Line, I Figured I Was Dead

I Found Longer Races Boring. I Found The Mile Just Perfect.

I Couldn't Disappoint People. I Did Not Want To Fail And Exhaust Myself, Because I Was The Kind Of Runner Who Trained So Little That I Couldn't Race Again Within Another 10 Days.

My Family Actually Lived In The Same Village For About 400 Years. They Had Great Stability Until The Last Century. People Lived And Intermarried In Small Villages.

If A Man Coaches Himself, Then He Has Only Himself To Blame When He Is Beaten.
