Brad Alan Lewis Quotes

The toughest part of the whole damn sport is the X Factor. To me, the X factor is your soul. It's your courage. It's your unique driving force. Suppose for a moment that you and I were running. Suppose that in every possible way-physical and mental-we were identical. Which one of us would emerge as the champion?
