I think it is that parents just don't kick their kids out the door as much as they used to. I think the demise of sandlot sports has had a lot to do with it.
The irony of that is, what makes it kind of ironic, is when you do become successful as a professional athlete in particular, a lot of the young children who are emulating these stars do have a different perspective.
Numbers don't lie. You always seem to remember your workouts as being a little better than they were. It's good to go back and review what you do.
My goal is to break three hours in a marathon
