Always enjoy your writings. I loved Annette as a musketeer so you are in that category too. Just wait until you reach my age. Love my name, yep love chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven. 🍪
Loved your piece today. Not a a lot of Damon’s to model after… Damon Runyan? Damon from Damon and Pythias? I dunno. I guess one just figures it out.
Anyway, also can relate to having body breaking down and wondering how hurt am I really.
Finally, was excited to read the bit about Faith Kipyegon because my wife and I got to see her run this past weekend at the Prefontaine Classic where she ran a world record 3:48 1500. And got to see Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone dominate the 400 flat. So inspiring.
Damon - So glad to hear from you! I imagine Damon's were hard to find back then too! Thanks for your comments, and sharing about the body breakdowns. As runners (now former), you get it. And you get my obsession with Faith. I did see her performance (on video), and didn't have a chance to include it in my blog. Do you live near Eugene? Are you in Oregon? My son went to U of O, and now lives in Portland! And we're out there frequently!
Don’t live here but come out frequently for track events. We’ve become track nerds, having come out for World Championships in 2022, olympic trials last year, and now the Prefontaine. We use these events as a springboard to spend time in the mountains. Love oregon. Your son is lucky to live here and you are lucky to have a great excuse to visit often!
