I was at and stoplight and the music from some car was playing "Schools Out" and I thought Alic Cooper, he ran. The next thought was that Dexter Holland (Lead Sing of The Offspring) ran in HS and now has a PhD in Molecular Biology, smart dude. Then I thought what runners, Elite or Sub Elite are smart. For me a couple popped up.
Laura Muir - Now a Vet
Hailu Ebba - Became a Doctor (he had a semi famous duel with Pre)
Tony Sandavol - Doctor
Any others come to mind, past and present who are runners and are smart?
