I didn't want to waste any energy today. Sometimes it's tough when you're that far ahead, but I had the crowd cheering me on and my adrenaline was going.
I'd like it to be the other way sometimes, ... I've got a crazy metabolism. I get (the weight) and it goes right down as soon as I start running. It's hard for me to put on weight. You just try to work at it and eat as much as you can, try to do the things that will get you there.
I don't feel like we have this big huge advantage at home. I feel a little more distracted at home for whatever reason. Maybe we've gotten used to playing on the road. The biggest difference, for me is that I'm not going to have a very long drive home after the game.
I don't know what we're going to talk about any more. People come in here all the time, worrying about the annexation.
I don't believe you should give up this community for this building. If you rezone this thing to M-1, you would be signing the death warrant for this community.

We can choose how to think about and react to disappointment, ... At the extremes, one line of thought leads to bitterness and a shriveled soul. The other leads to wisdom and growth.
To finally get a national championship - she worked so hard and she deserved it. It is hard to come by. There are lots of good runners in our division, but it was well-deserved with how much she wanted it and how hard she worked. She's the best female distance runner we've ever had here - and we've had some good ones, but she heads the list. She's going to be hard to beat.
