Ken Rideout

I'm thinking about one thing, getting this over with.

When people are like, did you get a runner's high?

I'm like, yeah, every single time.

As soon as I stopped, I was like, yes, I did it.

But I didn't have any designs on winning anything.

anything i was like i'm just going to run and get sober and then i started to enter some races because nothing keeps you honest like a competition just races in central park there's races every weekend for people in new york it's the best place to be a runner in the world because you they have everything you need and i would just enter race and i mean dude if i was in the top 20 in my age group i'd be like wow look at shell i ran i tell my wife look i ran on the seven minute mile in this one mile

I would end up running the marathon at 539 per mile for 26, which at the time seemed crazy.

But you can't beat the guy who is willing to die to win.

And as I started to get a little bit of positive reinforcement in terms of the results and seeing the improvement, so I was running.

Then my legs started bothering me, so I bought a bike.

I didn't know anything, but I was like, oh, these guys.

There was a guy in my office who was like talking about he's a great bike rider and

And I was like, I'm going to get a bike.

These guys are really good.

I'll try to ride with them.

And when I rode with them, I was like, either these guys stink or I'm pretty good at bike riding.

I'm not nearly as far down as I thought I was.

I mean, it was probably a combination of both.

But I started riding.

I mean, I ended up training with Lance Armstrong.
