I got to run with The Rocket for a few miles when I did the Hunter S. Thompson Fear and Loathing 50 Miler last December. In those brief miles, I could truly see that he is a great person…the person reflected in this video. By the way, here is a great podcast/interview with him that tells more about him, his accomplishments, and his untrarunning spirit.
I hope to be going strong, like him, in the years to come…
Oh, and his comments at 4:45 about being the last person to finish are totally true!
