Hi, Billy Mills here

Important: Do NOT go near a casino with this man.

Ask him if he did all his stunts in "Ode to Billy Joe" and "One on One". We all know he did his own stunts in "Running Brave".

Ask him why he calls himself "Billy" when his legal name is "William."

If it ever gets quite for a few minutes, start shouting "LOOK AT MILLS LOOK AT MILLS!!!" haha, he would probably think it was weird, but if I was in the car I would laugh myself to tears at the very least.

no casino's - check

Running brave was a good one. Any other stories I should know about. Last call to have any good questions you want me to ask him.

Thanks to one of my good friends giving me his runner's world I'm going have him sign his article in there. I'd also like to have one of his posters signed.

maybe you could ask him about racism vs Native Americans in the USA. You don't have to look further than this thread to see it...

Have met him before/spent time with him. Just let him do the talking. If you tell him you are a fellow runner, I'm sure he will tell you some good stories. He is a great storyteller and a heck of a nice guy, too. Very down to earth.

ask him if he has ever seen a grown man naked.

Ask him how much help Pat Clohessy was in helping

him prepare for the 10,000 in Tokyo.

The correct term is American Indian not Native American. Native American is considered racist. Most of the Indians I know prefer just to be called Indian or by their specific tribe.

Billy Mills is a living legend and a fantastic person. You are very fortunate to get a chance to spend some time with this gentleman. Ask him about his trips to the Olympics since he won gold, and about the state of American distance running.

Are you emplying that you wouldn't want to ask he about his trip to the Olympiks if he didn't win gold?

I met Billy a little over a month ago. He spent a lot of time letting the kids on my cross country team get his autograph and take pictures with him after we heard him speak. He is a very kind man and have done enormous amounts of charity work over the years.

Asking about his trips to the Olympics was a nice suggestion. He has been to every Olympics since the one he participated in.

You could also ask him what he did with his gold medal (he gave it to his grandson), which would give him a chance to talk about the medal and also his family.

Honestly, you can probably talk to him about anything. He has plenty of life experience and has spoken with so many people that I'm sure just about any topic would lead to a wonderful conversation.

He left everyone one on my team, parents included, feeling lucky to have spent that evening with him.

Ask him how fast he could run a 10K right now. If he says he does not know, offer to stop by a track.

Ask him at what distance he and Usain Bolt would finish in a dead heat.

Give him the times from your last interval session and ask him to predict your 5K.

...All Kidding aside, what an awesome opportunity to spend some time with a great person in Track and Field history.

tokyo

the last time america won gold in 10,000 AND 5,000

this will never happen again

Couldn't help but laugh thinking about if Mills was a letsrun viewer and he was reading this thread on his way to the airport. And he's thinking, man- I'm gonna mess with this guy's head.

Have fun and good luck!

Yep. I went to a small luncheon once with him. He is super nice and fun to talk to and has great stories.
