Secret to Christine's Success

In the description to correct it..

Christine ran a 4:33 1600 (national 1600 record) at the CA state meet all alone.

Hey, they should have given you guys a coupon code so we could all learn first hand what is the advantage of the semisweet chocolate chip cookies. Christine and The UW Women shouldn't be the only ones with this advantage.....Tempting!

hey,

just so all of you know... Christine won scholar athlete of the year when she graduated from high school. She is a very smart girl...

Mark, you guys keep doing what your doing. I admire your passion and you are also bringing out the human side to running. This is something that has always been missing...

funnest team of all time, folks.

Or how is this?

"I do not follow any special diet. I just try to eat healthy food, including a lot of vegetables.
I really love to eat hamburgers and fries, but I try to limit eating them as much as possible.
I believe that an athlete should eat whatever he or she likes, as long as the food is healthy, has sufficient carbohydrates and proteins. "

Nothing wrong with a cookie now and then.

Fun video mark, I agree with you, it doesn't always have to be running videos, it's fun to just see people having fun and enjoying themselves, it gives you an idea what they are like outside of just knowing how fast they are and what they've won.

To MikeyB, I don't believe Bekele ever said that, in fact, if I remember correctly (I can't find the article right now, but I know I've seen it) Bekele actually talks about how much he loves ice cream but has to be careful not to eat it too much or he'll get fat.
You say direct quote but give no source, so here you go, a little food for thought:
"Dibaba, whose favorite food is Enjira bread (though she does profess to liking chocolate and strawberry ice cream), has not yet decided whether she will do the double in the Osaka World Championships as she is entitled by the right of being the defending champion"

that place looks soo good!

Jake is really funny in this video! Seems like a great guy. Good luck to him at nationals...keep eating those milk chocolate cookies!

i wasnt the one that posted that comment, but i recall reading somewhere Bekele saying something very similar... no ice cream and he follows a strict diet.

Oh well, cutting out cookies may lower my 17 plus past my prime 5k, but i gladly take the slower times.
And it seems to not be affecting Christine in any way. All in moderation.

Was it just a coincidence that all those other coaches were there? or was it planned? Seems like definitely the place to be. Kinda reminds me of the scene in "Showdown" where Abdi is at the sushi place having a beer. Everyone has their own little vice that they do in moderation, if anything it helps them relax just that much more.

Where did Bekele say, " I don't eat ice cream because Bekele will be slow" Can I see an article or some type of source?

Amazing what she did for the ladies mile! Very motivational to see the focus of the women running thru the cold weather and water while training. Really showed why they do so well at the meets. Thanks Mark, loved the videos. Completed the San Antonio Marathon, nice to see Sell run. Any chance you plan on doing Austin's Marathon or any marathons in you're near future?

Read a Book,

We believe that it is also important to show the athletes off the track.

Can we see some of Christine's talent? Why is this "cookie ad" posted? How about some running videos of some races that she's completed. This film was a waste of time for her future or potential prospects.

I love Christine!
She has such an awesome personality.

Ahhh! Posted one day earlier . . . I was in Seattle today . . . but no cookies! Next time.

Can I get some of those cookies for my team? and myself? ;) lol

Good ad for chocolate chip cookies. Maybe when Christine opens up more and comes out of her shell you can do an interview about her running and maybe a track work out video. This commercial was too long.

Great video.

oo I go to this place at least twice a week, GOOD COOKIES!

i love seattle.

Hey, no one doubted Christine was smart. Where did you get that from? I believe she graduated with a 4.0 GPA. A lot of shy people are very intelligent, and a lot of extroverts, well, never mind. . .

i wish christine all the luck and success in the world during her time in college and beyond

Could Coach Metcalf be any cuter?! I think not.

and I am not an anonymous coward....

Actually Christine is a very smart girl....obviously because she was accepted into the University of Washington! She's just not all into herself, and dosnt hog camera time by talking a lot.

Go eat a cookie. Like you never do.

I hate the fact this cookie establishment does not exist anywhere near where I live.

this a very cool video! one thing that sticks out to me though, is the relationships with the other sports coaches and how they seem to all be part of a community. i like that and i think it is important. each sport supports the other, i like it!

This is just ONE of the little things that seperate the Americans from the Kenyans or Ethiopians.......A Bekele quote " I don't eat ice cream because Bekele will be slow" He said it with the belief that if would be so......For the NCAA's it probaby doesnt matter that much..... Anyway....Go Hawgs

ryan fenton is a bro

Christine's a little camera shy...

sooooo great! love it!

Jake! Whats up man! This is the Extreme G by the way.

MMMMMM milk, the perfect recovery drink!

Ryan, nice job!

Jake didn't eat the rest of his cookie because he is trying to slim down his cankles.........

By the way, Jake is a badass!

I like her coach too.

I like this video a lot. There should be more of these fun on the side videos.

Wow, perhaps I should eat more cookies..

Christine's smile makes me smile. Man it is contagious.

Christine seems so sweet and innocent. Milk and cookies what could be more All American.

If Choc Chip cookies made you successful in running, I would have been a champion

Was that Michelle lurking in the background????
