Happy Thanksgiving.
I recall Thanksgiving 1983. Both Tim Gruber, my training partner, and Danny Grimes, an old friend and I got in a quick 18 miler that morning, as we all prepared for multiple Turkey dinners. It was fun, as Danny and I had run our first 10,000m on the track way back in 1976, and Tim and I had just run pretty good road 10ks, and were considering our next seasons. It was a fun run, up in San Antonio and around Los Altos. Just a couple of hours with friends.
