I am a Runner

"I am not a runner." I said this to Coach Tim a couple of times and his immediate response (both times) was, "The runner has always been inside you." Apparently, it was inside a box in my garage in the form of a 1981 Nimitz Elementary School Trophy. I found this relic, from President Carter's push to get kids physically fit, as I cleaned out the garage the day after I ran 12 miles. I do remember running relays and earning stickers for running laps in 5th grade, but what was that trophy for?
