Today, I ran with my old high school/kind of but not really Ohio State Running Club rival- Daniel Goodman. Now I haven't seen Goodman in about a year and man he really put on some pounds. He's not obese, but man definitely has a major dad bod. Apparently, he stopped running after he broke his foot last summer. He thought that since many Kenyans ran successfully barefoot, that he should do the same. So he ran barefoot on asphalt for a few weeks and then proceeded to break his foot and get a little fat.

I did the first 3 miles with him and man he was struggling a lot. This is the same guy who used to beat me in high school races and workouts and we had to stop in the middle of a 3 miler lol. He was really out of breath and we were probably going 7:30-7:40 pace. LOL rest in peace Goodman's running career. He was pretty decent for a bit, but now those days are behind him.

At least, he's lifting now. He did tell me that having a dad bod and lifting has helped him hook up with a lot of girls. And as far as I can tell he's stopped making sporadic dolphin noises, so I think life is going well for him. It was a decent run, since I didn't run alone the whole time.

I ran 2 more miles around La Lulmiere's high school campus. They had a lot of trails, so I stuck to the trails and ended up by their dirt track. i can't believe that one of the best high school basketball programs in the nation has a dirt track lol. I mean I guess they do no recruiting for runners, since Goodman is one of their best runners of all time, but mannnnnnn they could at least afford to get a new track. But overall solid, easy day. The marathon is getting closer.
