Out of all the workouts I do, the Sunday long run is certainly my favorite. After a long week practicing with the same guys, Sunday mornings in downtown Jacksonville allow me to train with a new crowd. Sometimes it's just me running alone along the banks of the St. Johns River.
In researching the well-traveled Connor Vaughan, of Wolfson High School in Jacksonville, I found it difficult to locate his times on the flrunners website, not because I could not find his name, but because I found his name too many times.
The phrase “actions speak louder than words” perfectly defines my teammate and training partner, Jimmy Gehret, a senior and the top runner for Bishop Snyder High School in Jacksonville. He has no Instagram, no Twitter, no Facebook, and doesn’t text. When I want to arrange our Sunday long runs, I have to do it the old fashioned way, call him on the phone. It is rare you hear him speak either, unless you are a close friend.
