So, there I was at the iRun booth at the Ottawa Race Weekend expo. And this group of runners comes up to the booth. I offer them their free copies of iRun and one of them says, “Oh, I have to show you something.” And he opens the magazine to the article about Malcolm Gladwell, points to the part that says Malcolm’s big goal in high school was to beat Dave Reid, and they all have a laugh.
And I realized he was Dave Reid.
Malcolm Gladwell wrote about Dave Reid today on his blog…
