I probably would have become a runner anyway, but I have a clear memory of being at an "Octoberfest' at the family church/school during the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City (I was 11 at the time; I'm old), where they had TVs set up around the grounds. While my mom had 'one more cup of coffee' maybe five times, I stood and watched the men's 10K finals, and I remember marveling that they could just run and run; TV goes out to commercial, comes back, and they're still going and going and going.

As for speed skating, Eric Heiden from the 1980 Olympics was a 'friend of a friend' here in Madison, from high school, and then around campus at UW. Nice guy, his thighs were amazingly huge. LOL
