When Dwight Yoakam sang "Guitars, Cadillacs and Hillbilly Music," he failed to mention Athletics. This page attempts to rectify that oversight.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not an athlete. I'm not good at sports. In high school I tried out for (in chronological order) football, cross-country, basketball, track and tennis. Rejection, rejection, rejection, rejection, rejection. I was starting to lose my self-confidence.
Then in 1978 I started running after watching the Maryland Marathon. And recently I started boxing.
