The Connection Runners

Wordy Wednesday: Jesse Owens

"I always loved running. It was something you could do by yourself and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage in your lungs." - Jesse Owens, the first American track & field athlete to win four gold medals at a single Games.
