Absolutely not. Any knucklehead can become a teacher. I'm not even that well known in my local running community. Sometimes I win a race and I usually at least get top 10, but besides that I don't do anything unique or interesting. I probably am much less interesting than average. Seems everyone else my age is going to vacations to Europe, Africa, Australia, China, and South America. On any given day, I'll see fb friends post photos from all 6 populated continents. I think I could hold my own against Steven Colbert in Tolkien knowledge though.
