This vote has taken me down memory lane, I thought I’d talk a bit about my @SInow covers. My first SI Cover, making the 1964 Tokyo US Olympic Team as a High School Junior at 17.  I had only been running for 2 years.

I have said many times that when it’s time and our turn they will show up. They showed up today in a magnificent way - first, third and fifth - congratulations to our USA metric mile runners. Congrats, Cole Hocker, Yared Nuguse and Hobbs Kessler. You make us all so proud.

Thank you, sir. It is one of the greatest privileges to receive from you.

A long form podcast interview with my dad @jimryun by @letsrundotcom:

Loved listening to this @CleanSportCO podcast episode with the one and only @jimryun!! So much good stuff in this episode. I especially loved when he talked about the pressure and wanting more for his life. So much wisdom in this one! Listen here: https://t.co/W0lXSa3jAg

We bring you a legend in the mile with Jim Ryun. In 1964, @jimryun burst on the track scene at 17 by running the first sub 4-min mile by a H.S. boy after only 2 years as a runner, and a month later, he would earn a spot on the Olympic team in Tokyo. https://t.co/3GolGtO0dB

My 5th SI cover. Tough year. Pulled hamstring, mono, 7,300 ft altitude. Very honored to win Olympic 1,500M Silver Medal for the United States!

My 4th SI cover was for SI Sportsman of the Year. Huge honor! God gave me the talent. So many helped make it possible, especially Coach Bob Timmons and wife Pat.
