Running with Brock

Brock Gavery is a machine when it comes to running. When he asked me to go run 20 miles with him at Discovery Park yesterday, I jumped at the chance to socialize and get to know him better. Apparently he used to be a huge whitewater kayaker, and is good friends with Bryan Smith, who was an instructor with Body Boat Blade when I first took classes there. He has also run several back-to-back 100 mile weeks recently. I asked what race he was training for - he said it was just for fun. I ran my first 60 mile week this week, my longest ever. Now I feel like a slacker.
In any case, don't get into an endurance race with Brock. Even if you can get ahead of him, it's not a matter of if he catches up to you, but when.
