    That would be a great run....er, walk! I just went to see him Thursday. Very inspiring, upbeat and seems like an extremely down to earth guy. He's lived through some pretty wild stuff!
    I ran a few miles with him last summer through an event w/ my running store. He signed his book for me and wrote HTFU on my shirt. Book is indeed inspiring. And grounding. He seemed like a real decent, down-to-earth guy the few miles I spent with him. Not so much into stretching, btw. Why some people end up going through hell, I will never know.

      Ben Franklin FWIW: If I remember correctly, C Walken started in show biz as a dancer.

      Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

            If I could keep up with her at any distance at all, that would be pretty fabulous. And unlikely.

            It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

              Just saw him last Wednesday. What a story. Would like to do a long run with Darwin.

                I remember him talking about tap lessons when he was a kid in Queens, NY. He said that all the boys took tap, and the girls took ballet. I think he mentioned another famous actor who was in his tap classes, but I forget who that might have been. I'll choose Albert Einstein. I think the conversation would be incredibly interesting, plus I can imagin that watching Einstein run would be kinda funny. In the real world, though, there are some RAers I'd love to run with some day.

                  From the no longer with us... Paul Gibson - (from SI Roundup of the Week: June 2, 1975) DIED: Professional track competitor and former football player PAUL GIBSON, 26, from injuries resulting from an auto accident; in El Paso, Texas. Winner of the 1970 NCAA high hurdles title while at UTEP, Gibson played one game as a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers before signing with ITA last year. Ran regularly and competitively against Edwin Moses and Rod Milburn. He was my cousin and a danged good runner. From the with us... It'd be a real kick to run long with Kooky, Zoomy, John England (early/infrequent RA poster), Bernie (once known as fat man running), and Eric. Also, if I am ever in Boston, I'd like to run with the masshole, we'd talk about daughters.

                    You guys would have to promise to run really slow so I can keep up wit ya's... Big grin Has anyone ever heard from Bernie? Last I remember he was back saying his cancer was once again in remission and that he felt good, then he disappeared. I often wonder if he's still OK. Confused

                      Well, after our long run, I could give him a swift kick to check in here... would love to hear something... Undecided

                          My husband. We've never trained for a half at the same time...and one of us has to stay home with the kid. One day, a few years from now, I hope to run long with the kid AND my husband. The kid is 7 now, and has expressed an interest. I've taken her running, and she's up to a mile now. Or johnny dep. Or pre.

                              I would welcome a run with family or friends I guess. I run by myself mostly so I never gave it much thought. There's plenty of people on RA that I'd be happy to share a run with, too.

                              Not at it at all.
