Being trained by a champ

The icy winds of autumn were blowing as I ran this morning. An old and super-fit person passed me by and told me that I needed to lose quite a bit of weight. I laughed and told him that I was up at 5 am and running at sunrise for that very purpose.

He then told me that I was not running the right way and that my feet weren't landing the way they should. So, the conversation went on, and I found out that he is 68 years old, going on 30.  He said he was a national level athlete in the Soviet Union and now lived alone, since he wife passed away.

The wonderful gentleman offered to train me over the next few weeks! How much luckier can I get!
