Then one day i was ask to be jeremy wariner's training partner I gladly accepted the challenge. I help Jeremy post his fastest time of his career 43.45 in the 400m dash which is currently the 3rd fastest ever ran at that distance. i was very pleased to have that opportunity to have trained with such a great person. I felt very good about my ability to help n push others to reach there goals. It was one day when Micheal Johnson came to me and said, lil joe your ethic is great i dont know what it is but you have a gift that not to many have the ability to touch others and so many ways continue what your doing. I took that n ran with and thats why i love training.
