It's been great for the running community as a whole. We're getting so many more people participating who would never have thought about participating in a Mini.

The Internet is adding on to community rather than destroying it. There were a huge number of people running around saying the sky was falling a few years ago. What we found is the sky isn't falling, that life is going on and quite happily.

I'm running because of neglect of the community, neglect of the people, neglect of the democratic principles, total neglect. It's like he thinks he's a real-life king, and he has his knights around him. What about the rest of us?

Most people have this perception that you have to be out there running for an hour and a half every day. But you don't have to give up your career and family to run a marathon.

I think it really well. We were both really tired. We were just trying to keep the kids running in and out, switching them out so they could rest.

The ideal person is out in the community getting feedback from other parents. We don't want hermits. We don't want anybody with a cause. . . . We're looking for parents with solid judgment who want to raise healthy kids and know that a lot goes into it.
