Frank Giannino attempted to run the fastest time across the US in 1979. He finished, but didn't break the record. So, he went after it again in 1980. This interview means a ton to me as I grew up buying my shoes from Frank when I started running in 1990. To have such a great running idol in my home town definitely shaped not only my running, but my life! Frank can be reached at frankg@shoe-fitter....

I had nothing but time on my hands as I drove home alone form racing the Caumsett 50k in Long Island, NY. It gave me to to reflect on what had just transpired.

I hope you enjoy!

I sit down with my old High School Coach, Martin Harnick to have a post race chat. I love this man! He is part of my family! He mentored me and helped me find myself through running. I was so grateful for this opportunity.
