"Is your favorite part of running and how did you start? My favorite part of running, wow, this could take days for me to answer that because not because there's so much about running that I like, but how did I start? When I was, let's see. It was the summer of 1976. I had just turned 13 and I write about this in my book, fish out of water, all of this is in my book fish out of water. I tell the story of my life. But I remember watching with my brother, I guess it was Frank shorter when the marathon in the Olympics in the Summer Olympics of 76 when Bruce Jenner was the winner of the decathlon. And it inspired me to want to run, but I didn't know at age 13. What does that mean to run? How do you run whatever? So a year later, when cross country when I was, I entered high school actually tenth grade begins in Danbury high school. It was started a tenth grade to high school. I should say at three classes because it's such a big school. So in tenth grade, when I was 14 because I skipped a grade, I was very young, but at age 14, a friend of mine, I mentioned him in the book, Luke benac. He said he was going to go out for cross country. And I thought, well, I always, I've known lukes in 6th grade. I was always faster as a runner than Luke by far. And I thought, well, if Luke could go out for cars company, maybe I should go out for cross country. So I went out for cross country and at age 14 in extremely worn out basketball sneakers, I ran the entire cross country season. I was JV. I'm not particularly talented, but I gave it the old school try and I ran the whole season.

You know, they almost blind you sometimes when you drive through at night. How about get a few of those over near the drag to keep the kids safe? I'm not that they say that. No matter minute you could make a phone call Mayor Strong Mayor. Get off your hands and make a decision. Instead, the West campus safety remains a concern for people in the area following another result that's being investigated. This week. Emily Crone with the student group called Horns for safety, She tells CBS Austin that living near the campus is just not worth the risk any more. Times have felt very uncomfortable fucking room. I definitely think that lighting needs to improve no doubt Two years ago, the city said that 228 new lights were needed in the West campus area. And that was going to cost $2.3 million. The city's plan to install lights over the next five years. Austin Energy still working on a contract with an engineer, too, meant to install light bulbs. How come you can't call the transportation Department this morning when they open their doors at nine o'clock and get some lights over on the drag? I know if they're on a trailer. I know exactly what you're talking about. A C l u have to see the amount of things they those life They have lined up for a shell. Ready to G O Man. They're putting everywhere. Yeah, it's an odd set of priorities here. They don't care. They don't think They don't think there's a safety problem on the drag. I don't think there's a safety problem when it comes to homelessness. They don't believe this young student who's concerned about her safety, and it's a very, very odd set of eyes. These people have and certainly a non set of brains. That's for sure. Heck, I bet the University of Texas has very similar lighting and a lighthouse right now on campus. I do. Of course they do. Of course they do. Why can't this get fixed? I don't know. What's the holdup? The only thing I can imagine is they just don't believe that there's a concern for safety. They have so much lighting that they could have over there in an hour. Literally that it would look like daylight there. 24 7. Maybe there's a construction company in town that wants to donate some lights. Just for some good PR. How about maybe one on each end of the drag? Just a light things up? Yep. Yep, And it was also helped those workers putting up the permanent lights with their job. I would think it would help them do the job faster because they could work 24 7 and get it done. Please met 100. Years ago. They were faster putting up the moon towers. We put up moon towers because there was a concern serial killer. Right, uh, or something into that effect around Austin.
