I thought back on my running career at Oregon. I'd competed with, and against, men far better, faster, more physically gifted. Many were future Olympians. And yet I'd trained myself to forget this unhappy fact.

Is there such a thing as a life without any regrets? I've never believed so.

Because all I can think right now is: maybe I deserve it. Maybe this is my penance. — Ali Harris
