Back and running strong
February 7th, 2010
I started running with the CRC a few years ago and every once in a while on a run you’d hear a story about this guy named Jimmy Green. Then about a year ago he showed up. Out of shape and slow (in Jimmy Green measures) he started running, and walking when he had to. His comeback has been steady and deliberate. Recently on tempo runs he’s been pushing harder and harder. Still deliberate. This weekend at the 15k he clocked an 8 minute pace, won his age group and came in second in the Male Senior division. I think it is safe to say that Jimmy Green is back.
Jimmy is definately back. Somewhere around 7 or 8 miles i heard someone cough and about that time Jimmy passed by me and said c’mone running buddy! I tried to catch him but there was nothing left in the tank.
Congrats, Jimmy! Nice run on Saturday.
