Member spotlight - Richard Van Wie

Get to know your fellow runners!  Check out this cool interview with Dick Van Wie.


A five minute chat with a man who started running at the age of forty eight.  A former high school football player...a two year college wrestler...a finisher of the Dublin, London, and Boston Marathons.  Why did Dick start running at the age of forty eight?  Because he looked in the mirror, and didn't like what he saw.  Now at the age of seventy seven, Dick shares a few thoughts after his three mile run.

" ...... I wanted to say to everyone in the club who hasn't done one of the soup runs to give it a try!
We did our first one last week - had been hesitant because we both are nursing injuries and going slow, but we went with Jill's walk-run group and did some running, some walking and it worked out fine. It is SO much easier to get out there in the cold when there is a group.
Love the soup idea, too. Nothing like hot soup on a cold day and the camaraderie of relaxing after a run with a bunch of running friends. I'm not sure whose idea it was to start these runs, but it's one of the best things the club has done."

The soup and fellowship that follow each run are as enjoyable as the run. This has been a great opportunity to pick up many tips from more experienced runners as well as a time to enjoy camaraderie with fellow runners. I could not say enough about the wonderful group of people I have had the great pleasure to meet through joining TVFR.
