Tonight I'm going to shower and then just walk for about four hours and look at the moon.

I make appearance at local park and recreation agencies when the program starts, when they have the qualifying meets at the local levels. Then I try to go to the regional competitions, and of course I'm there in Hershey, Pa., in August for the North American final.

It's very warm there, so we were outdoors all the time. The local people had programs for us year-round, where as kids we had the opportunity to play football, basketball, baseball, track and field - we just went from one sport to the next, year-round.

I'm about four skyscrapers behind.

I don't care if I never see Texas again.

The whole decathlon is ridiculous, but the 1,500 meters is insanity.
