Love this, Chris. I got to share running with my dad late in his life, too. He was too sick for most of that time for us to actually run together, but we bonded over stories from his glory years as I was finding my footing in the sport. And everyone should have some version of "the Oly." A place where you can put in steady, quiet work without too much thinking. For me, it's a small park with a few paths, a perfect one mile around. Lace up and go.

Thanks, Mike. We talk way too often about split times, clothes, shoes, and stuff like that, but the real magic of running lies in the connections it can bring us...
