Biking is my meditation. I never actually stopped doing anything. The hip made me stop running, so I got on the bike.

I do think it's a lot of fun. It's a day to come out to go biking and running. I think it's a day someone can have fun and look forward to. It's a good way to keep in shape, be healthy and enjoy recreation.

Don't do extra biking, swimming, tennis, to replace what you are not walking or running. You really need to rest the body.

It made me mature a lot faster than I probably should have. I think I see things in a different perspective than most teen-agers.

It's easier to have friends over for longer periods of time, because my parents can't hear and they'll just go to bed. But if the music's too loud my dad will hear the vibration and come out and yell at us. But I don't take advantage of them.

I've called every coach of every school I'm interested in to let them know my times.
