This year Bart Yasso was the guest speaker, and what a speaker he was. He has been with Runners World Magazine since 1987 and currently serves as their Chief Running Officer traveling the globe inspiring people and spreading his love of running. Bart shared tales from his life that are documented in his book, "My Life on the Run." I was lucky enough to talk to him and have him autograph my book. I even brought along my copy of the Boston Marathon edition of Runners World for him to sign. Like they say, all good things must come to an end and unfortunately so did this incredible evening with Bart Yasso.

How very cool that your running group had Bart Yasso as a speaker! I met him a few years ago at Big Sur (got him to sign my book too!) and heard him speak - he's so entertaining and motivating and just an all-around nice guy. Big Bart fan over here. :)
ReplyDeleteDid you run the Big Sur half or full marathon? I ran the half a few years ago and I will say it was one of the most beautiful places to run.
DeleteI walked the 10.6 miler, which was on the full marathon course. Planned on running it, but ended up injuring my ankle. Honestly, not having to run was nice because my friends and I enjoyed the scenery, took tons of pictures, and had a great time. I wouldn't mind going back and doing it again one day.
DeleteI did the half which was at a different time. We didn't cross the bridge but ran through Monterey and skirted around Pebble Beach. I too would love to go back and run/walk it again.
