On my wall there is this page from a Runner's World magazine. It's a runner spotlight of Jennifer Toomey. The date on the page is April 2004. I've kept it all these years and it's meaning more and more to me.
When I talked to Ed Eyestone, he told me that he didn't know of anyone who had ever done what I was planning on doing from my situation, and what I mean by that, is that Ed hadn't ever heard of someone who had never made it to State in high school, or who wasn't a state champion, or who hadn't made the college team, but had made it to the Olympic trials and the Olympics. Well, my dear friend Ed, have you ever heard of Jen Toomey?
I had, but I had forgotten.
