A Run for Coach

I couldn’t attend Coach Rodgers’ memorial in West Virginia, so that morning I did the one thing that seemed most appropriate. I went for a run.

On July 2, I wrote an essay about Coach Rodgers in The Beautiful Full Circle. The essay grew out of email exchanges among my teammates on the day of the memorial.

On Monday, June 29, Coach’s family held a memorial for him in West Virginia. I wasn’t able to be there.

So, on the morning of his memorial, I did the one thing that seemed most appropriate.

I went for a run.

I carried my iPhone in my hand, turned on the camera, and talked to Coach along the way. There was no script and not much of a plan. It was simply my way of being there when I couldn’t actually be there.

The video does the rest of the talking.

I am a sixty-year-old wild eyed wanderer who has spent his entire life searching for that “one thing” as his life’s work only to realize that maybe there is no “one thing”. I have been a beer salesman, a high school math teacher, an insurance adjuster, a government service worker, and a grocery store clerk.

I have lived on both coasts and traveled frequently between the two and I am anxious to not only share my experiences with you, but to hear all about your experiences. Together we will make each other better!
