2017 Spring/Summer Workouts, Week Eighteen, Day 3, a day of relaxed running

It is on afternoon runs, with your friends, that amazing things happen. It was on a run near Lexington Dam, that I met David Hughes. It was the beginning of my junior year at Bellarmine. I had moved from Saint Louis, Missouri during the spring of my sophomore year. I had a rough time my first semester in California. Yet, in the fall of my junior year, David Hughes, a fine 400 meter runner, also ran cross country. On a six mile run up near Lexington Dam, we had a good talk, and David gave me a chance and I did the same with him.
