You know it's a small world when...

Yo,

There was this older chap that runs at the gym. He always looked kind of familiar but I had no clue where it was from. It could have been from a race here or just my imagination so I just brushed it off. I could tell he was a runner and being a runner myself I'm always curious what the story is. Is he competitive, does he do marathons, half marathons, run for fitness? lol I noticed he's competitive because when ever I'm on the machine beside him I notice he looks over at my speed/grade/etc. I can't say I never do, cause it's hard to tell how fast people are going, but w/e. Back to the story, so the one time we started talking and I found out he was from Manitoba. He started then talking about all the races back home and it turns out I'd done most of those. I mentioned I had trained a bit at the UofM, he then told me that he'd run with a running club called "road kill". Then it clicked, I've been in alberta for nearly 8 years but I knew him from back home(where I grew up and started running). This running club that he ran with was my running club then too, but we checked the dates and he had been injured for a lot of the time I ran with them. Which explained why I didn't know him that well. He talked of the coach, which I'd actually lived with for nearly 2 years. Anyways it's good to meet new people, but it's also good to meet old friends and friends of friends and to remember old times, .... fast times. lol Cheers,
