It Only Took Me Two Years…
Seriously, this article should serve as a reminder to anyone wishing to freelance to never give up. I sent what seemed like 20 reminders, was assured, was forgotten, was assured again, was forgotten again, and then I sent one last reminder (like the rest, a polite one) and I got the article published. I have the right to complain about the typo that thevy created, but it’s not worth it. I’ll just bask in my Warhol-esque 800 words of fame for now.
But I if I had to live off the income that I received for this article for two years, I’d have had to wedding crash large-city races–stealing free bagels, using free porta potties, wearing free tee shirts etc.

A very inspiring article. I actually remember reading about that hill repeat session in your blog a while back. It stuck with me, how you challenged him, and beat him one time up. It seemed to make you a better runner because you trained with them.
Congratulations, looking forward to more of your fine work. Nice paintings, too!

Larkin and Rodale? Seriously though, I’m very happy to see you in Running Times, even if it isn’t on their list of Olympic Trials marathon qualifiers.. A hearty congratulations to you for writing the article and doing what it took to get it published. I think you have a real future in this.
