My first immediate thought when reading your words drew me back to the move they made about Prefontaine. Mack Wilson watches begrudgingly as a young Prefontaine runs around the track standing next to their Coach Bill Bowerman. Mack says, "Cocky little mother." The coach instantly responds, "I'll like to bottle it and force feed it to the rest of you." Damn, to get back to those days when Uncle Rico felt like he could throw a football over that mountain. Your words took me back to when the body did indeed feel like it was super charged, and somehow, had not forgotten how to sleep through the whole night.
