This guy works as the janitor for my building. Every day he comes in and talks to me and Sheri about his tasmanian devil dog. Yesterday, he was seen locking himself into the womens' bathroom. What was he doing in there?

I mean, yes he was crazy and all... but there's no arguing with the fact that he could really, really run.

He ran that 8:40 on a 11 lapped banked wooden track. Just think if he ran on todays fast synthetic tracks.

Throw in an underwater treadmill and a Prednisone TUE and he'd be a world beater.

I am the reason the original thread got deleted. I asked too many questions about his personal life. Mainly the dichotomy between his words (karma) and his actions (good bye kids).

Safe to say he ran away from his family (and his responsibilities). He came from an Fffddd up home so its not surprising
His cross country race PAC 10 at Stanford against Pre best ever.

Has there ever been an article written by one of his kids. I work in Peds psych and would be interested in their perspective

Read his book by the Shadow of Gerry Lindgren.
Not covered in the book but Gerry by his senior
year was very respected by his class. Even a
member of a couple of elite high school clubs.
You aspiring runners want to experience for one time
the toughness of a Lindgren, set your clock at
3:30 in the morning (about 6 miles) and try it!
I was very fortunate to try it in high school. Tough
to do.

He's a scumbag who abandoned his kids. Who cares how fast he ran?
