“When I change to that last gear. I actually visualise shifting gears in a car and immediately try to increase my leg turnover. During that last 200m, I focus on increasing speed but still saving one last gear for the last 50 metres.” — @shelbo800 .

Been seeing my fellow #teamusa athletes posting pictures with them in their 🇺🇸 uniforms so I’m joining in 😛. Seriously though, this country is not perfect, I am not so proud of some actions. I’ve gotten to see the world and it made me think more of where I live. There are places in this world where people feel like they don’t exist. There are no opportunities, no hope. As racist and unfair this country could seem to be and I have shared these very thoughts, these photos i am positing remind me that it’s not just that. I came from the bottom, grew up my whole childhood life 0-17 years old on welfare as my mother was a single parent “no education” and father in prison. My whole family roots are from Mexico. I certainly didn’t have positive role models growing up to make me wanna be successful, it was actually the opposite. I come from a certain area where the a good majority of Hispanic males will be gang bangers...in prison, dead, or end up homeless on the streets from drug addiction. Now where I am getting at is, this country still gave me....ME....opportunities to be somebody, to travel the world, to follow my dreams. I am still following my dreams at 36 years old. This country has not stopped me because of my background, or stopped me because I have had family members in trouble with the law. There are opportunities for all of us, I am proof. Today, of all days made it more clear. I am proud to be an American! I will continue to be positive and keep working hard, showing that hard work does pay off. Doesn’t matter where you come from, what you look like...it might not be easy, but you can achieve anything. Happy 4th of July. #contodo #cabadats #hardworkpaysoff

I also def fit in that category of being a ghost, I would have to go out of my own way to socialize and that itself is difficult for me.

as ever, i draw the training-conditions line at "active thunderstorm." it's been going on for 90 minutes, i'm wiped out, calling it.

Encouraged, he redoubled his efforts over the following winter. He would run at night, carrying a torch. He would strap weights to his feet and then go cycling. He would make a cut-price treadmill by putting a layer of wet clothes at the bottom of his bath and running on them, one part athlete, one part washing machine. He ran in heavy army boots and embraced rain, ice and snow. “There is a great advantage in training under unfavourable conditions,” he said. “It is better to train under bad conditions, for the difference is then a tremendous relief in a race.”
