You have to wonder at times what you’re doing out there. Over the years, I’ve given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.

Happy 61st Birthday, Pre!
Track Facts
- Shows Steve Prefontaine and Frank Shorter battling it out during the 5,000 meter.
- The Race was at Hayward Field during the Restoration Meet.
- This meet was crucial in Prefontaines career helping him get over the brutal loss in the 1972 Olympics in Munich and start preparing for the Montreal Olympics in the 1976 Olympics.
- Had he not died, Pre could have went on to set the 5,000 meter record with 12:36.2, which was his goal that he set the morning he died.
