Can overexposure be far off?
Instead of writing a new blog entry this week, I spent a couple of days answering questions for an interview now posted to eliterunning.com. Thanks to Duncan Larkin for feeding my ego by deciding that I'm interview-worthy, and also for asking some interesting questions (a couple of which originated with Meghan Hicks).

I think a certain someone has set the bar pretty high for "overexposure". Getting a little attention for well-earned success never hurt anyone. Good luck the last couple of weeks. The weather here is beautiful now, but it looks like its going to change. Oh well.

Just don't go getting all famous-haughty on the rest of us regular folk, 'kay? :)
Nice interview, I think you deserve it!

Greg,
first congratulations on your Sunmart win. Next, I had planned to be at the Caumsett Park 50k. I thought Ray K would be running it. Work - coaching clinic - kept me in NYC. Of course if I had know that you'd be there I'd have changed my plans. But, Ray K didn't show and I didn't change my plans, so I missed you performance and win there too. I raced many years ago against Byron Lane (4th I believe) and many other friends ran, but coaching kept me in the Big Apple. What's next?

Great interview - I'm amazed at how humble and matter of fact you always are! Hope the training is going well!

Greg,
I decided to track you down (and boy was it easy!) after reading the latest Williams Alumni Review and finding out that Hodge Markgraf passed away in January. You should post the Hodge quote board again in his memory.
Anyway, I thought this would be a good excuse to get back in touch. After deciding to "take a masters and run" from the PhD program I was in, I worked at a pharma company for a couple years, then went to law school, and I'm now practicing law in New Mexico. Weird, huh. Anyway, how are things at U-Dub?

Oops, my bad. I didn't realize you had memorialized him back in January. (We don't get the news as fast here in NM.) Anyway, thanks for keeping his memory alive. Hodge was a member of a dying breed of scientists. No offense to current academics like yourself, of course.

I enjoyed reading the interview. Congrats on a U.S. Championship! It is exciting to me to see the successes you are achieving.
