JJ: 18 and Life
Who remembers the metal hair band Skid Row? One of their hits was “18 and Life." I don’t recall many lyrics or even the exact message of the song—other than an 18 year-old making a life-changing decision. Deep stuff, dude.
When I met the guys for our long run yesterday, my marathon program called for 18 miles. As the miles ticked off, we caught up on life, waved to familiar faces, said hello to friends, and gave the runners’ nod to the speedsters. Circling the 10K park loop, I recognized friends from the gym, the office, the races, an ex-girlfriend, a family friend, bike shop owners, and Ironman veterans. People of all ages and colors were walking, running, blading, and riding.
Over those 18 miles, a diverse community of people was sharing a park trail and an active lifestyle.
