10K

Oliver is a naturally talented runner. I've always told him so. He is built beautifully for it. When we dated in high school I ran cross country. Even at the peak of my conditioning if Oliver and I went running together I would be pushing myself to the limit and he would literally run circles around me, or even better backwards while telling me jokes. Now, he runs from time to time but his schedule doesn't allow him much consistency. Well, one week ago with zero training he decided he was going to run a 10K. So he crammed in 3 runs this past week to "train" and headed out to his first race today. Whose first race is a 10K! As you could expect he did wonderful. I'm proud of him. Can you tell with all my bragging? But what else can I say? He's great.

Good to learn that you are runny. As to talent, it has to be DAD's DNA.

I am now back to running, 3-4 miles a day, everyday at U of Cincinnati.

Way to go, Ollie.
