My Dad Won the Pro Bowl - Sunday Dinner

What this episode covers

This week on Sunday Dinner, we recap the two races I ran to close out the year: an unexpected road 10K in El Paso and the USATF Cross Country Championships. Along the way, my dad shares some parallel racing experiences, including the full story of the short-lived NFL Pro-Bowl road racing series that he and his friends single-handedly shut down after its inaugural year. We also dive into the context behind his only US Cross Country title in Portland—the same year I was born.We close out the episode with a plea to add cross country to the Winter Olympics. I loved hearing these stories and hope you enjoy them too. Contact us at [email protected] written and recorded by Tim Gibson
