Prefontaine

Posted on April 10, 2021

He’s a local legend in these parts. Info on him can be found on Wikipedia and other places. Out on this morning’s run, the first with my running group in just over a year, I went out on the trail named after him. On a post was a little figure, an “overseer” of sorts. The run was slow as I’m still recovering from last week’s 16 miler. I did get to run with Paul though – the elder statesman of our group at age 83 (!).

The brand was irrelevant and you could have one item repaired for free – a great deal. They are here for a sustainability conference being put on by the business college and from what I could tell their work today will be a hit. I had a new velcro set up installed on the sleeve of my rain jacket that I keep in my office. h/t to Patagonia for doing this. You can follow the Worn Wear Wagon as it makes its way around the country. If they stop…
