My brother John won, er, I mean run in the Boston Marathon way back when...

Since I entered High School I have remained in awe of people that can run...



The latest one I've watched is a guy named Morgan McDonald, a long distance Badger.
Just watched him become the 2019 5000 meter NCAA Champ ( however long that is?)

I was never any good at that. I think the longest I ever ran was 6 miles in combat boots,
a helmet & a rifle around my shoulder. We had to do it under 90 minutes! We wore pants too...

I had friends that would go on Sunday morning runs together through Fairmount Park
for miles & miles. Many of them still do I suppose 'cause they enjoyed it so much.

But the runners I am talking about are the Pro Runners!
Like every pro in any sport we laypeople cannot comprehend
how good a Pro is.

Some of the best runners ever...


That Morgan McDonald Wisconsin Badger I watched earlier on
TV tonight was joy to see...

As was brother John finishing his Marathon!

One guy I knew who could run was Pete Rose. Put Pete in the Hall!
