A group of dedicated runners jogged distances of 5, 10 an 15 miles as part of the San Quentin 1000 Mile Club’s event recently.
The leading runner was Ron Goodman, who logged the grueling marathon distance of 26.2 miles.
It was a bright, sunny day with no alarms to disturb the event. Ron’s coach paced him for the final 10 miles.
Ron has been running since his youth and considers the sport as spiritual.
He missed the Boston Marathon qualifying time by 30 minutes. “It was a bad day,” he said, “but I will continue to improve.”
