At the time I was an infrequent runner.<br /> I later became an avid runner, running my first marathon in 1999, qualifying for Boston in my second marathon and PRing at the age of 42 with a 3:33 at Twin Cities.<br /><br />That interview with Klecker spurred me on years later. He and his wife both are amazing. I'm glad to hear he is still running!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34970654.post-69979471790931465752009-12-02T21:17:22.259-06:002009-12-02T21:17:22.259-06:00I enjoyed your interview.

I then would look for him as he would be coming the other way toward me in a little while. I didn't realize until later that I got to witness an American record being broken but I knew something was up. I noticed that he seemed to run kinda leaning to one side. Looked a little funny but could he run! My ultra days are done; hip replacement but I enjoyed looking back by reading your interview.<br /><br />JimPops and Mumshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221954202175775272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34970654.post-14584351380151954572009-08-17T08:18:19.098-05:002009-08-17T08:18:19.098-05:00He is talking about my dad, i was just googling hi...He is talking about my dad, i was just googling him.<br />i am the second to youngest one.<br /><br />Bit---Love u dad!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34970654.post-81271002077739213442009-07-08T17:07:00.994-05:002009-07-08T17:07:00.994-05:00I was really excited to see this about Barney and ...I was really excited to see this about Barney and Janis! While I don't get to see them anymore (I am in Dallas), we shared a wonderful experience in Houston when she won the trials..with her folks in my car, I drove them all around the course and got them to the finish line just in time to see Janis come running in...I still get chills when I think of it..The marathon director at the time said she couldn't win it..period. I guess she showed him! Love always to the Kleckers and the kids!<br /><br />Karen Thibodeaux<br />Former Houstonian now a Dallasite!Karen Thibodeauxhttp://www.yoursportingimage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34970654.post-13719828856542794182009-06-07T12:40:39.704-05:002009-06-07T12:40:39.704-05:00Great interview!
