The 10-year-old runner who stars in this video is starting for her Ohio University soccer team against Ohio State University today, and then bringing seven of her college soccer teammates to stay with us in Chicago this weekend.
Near the end of the video, she expresses her philosophy of sports and life, then and now.
“Most people start off slow and then go fast,” she says, gasping for breath. “I start out fast and then try to go as fast as I can at the end but sometimes someone catches me.”
* By God, I loved that Flip video camera, and the easy-peasy editing software that came with it. After they discontinued it, I never found anything quite (or even nearly) simple enough to allow me to stitch together a little film of a day, the same day I’d filmed it, with a cocktail at my elbow.
