AM - 7 miles.
Before my senior year of high school and during that winter between seasons (we didn't have an indoor track program), I ran a couple local road races in upstate NY where I got absolutely smoked by some home-schooled kid named Josh McDougal. He would go on to become one of the great NCAA runners of recent history, and then his career was derailed by some mystery injury. After 5+ years of being on the sidelines, Josh returned to racing over the weekend. He started a blog that has details like you would find on FRB... the kind of stuff you typically don't see from a guy who has run 13:20 for 5K. Hopefully he keeps posting as his comeback continues.
2001 Old Chatham 5K. Josh (blue) is ahead of me (yellow)... he beat me (RESULTS), but I beat Bill Rodgers.
