I'm a runner
I still call myself a runner even though I haven't been able to run for almost 20 years. My knees are shot.
1972 Olympic Trials 800 meters (I'm the Oregon half-miler on the left) Dave Wottle (in the hat) set a world record at the Trials and won the 1972 Olympic gold medal |
However my Hood to Coast experiences have taught me that running is more than just a physical activity. Running is also a mindset which has been an important thread throughout my life.
What follows are my favorite Hood to Coast experiences and lessons.
