Rubbing elbows with Olympians: Meeting Frank Shorter

“Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It’s part of racing.”
I can’t believe I forgot to post this picture. Frank Shorter was one of the speakers at the Calgary Marathon expo in May. We didn’t get to hear him speak but I did get his autograph and this picture. For those of you who don’t know who he is… he’s the 1972 Olympic Marathon gold medalist. Pretty cool, eh?

Meeting him was a surprise so I didn’t know what to say except, how’s it going? Are you sticking around for the marathon? I hate small talk. But it was cool nonetheless. He seemed to be a nice guy.
