The best runners in the world

Roger Bannister….

Roger Bannister was on of the best runners in the world. He knew, like all the medical experts in the world, that a human could not run a mile in less than 4 minutes. He and a dozen of other top runners tried but didn’t break the 4-minute mile.

But on May 6th 1954 Roger ran very well. His coaches, sensing the break may occur, held up a time sign telling Roger that he was on pace for running his standard mile when in reality he was on pace to break the 4 minute barrier.

Not knowing he couldn’t do it, Roger ran a mile in 3:59.4. He and his whole team celebrated a world record, because his mind could not get in his way.

What barriers do you know cannot be broken, but they possibly could be broken if your mind could get out of the way?

"I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me." -Anna Quindlen
