I learned about it via a news broadcast on Pittsburgh radio station KDKA and, for some reason, the event stuck firmly in my memory. I was 13 years old and on May 6, 1954 Roger Bannister ran a mile in less than 4 minutes. The integer 4 is a perfect square as was Bannister's age then -- 25. Alternatively, 13 is prime. As is 60 + 13 = 73. Yesterday marked 60 years since Bannister broke the record. I have come to love running. And playing with numbers.
I . . . never
will run out
of numbers.
