For our 50th episode of Le Run Down we reached for the stars and got to have an amazing conversation with Meb Keflezighi.His story is one that could be turned into a movie script as his family left a world of poverty and war in Eritrea and made their way to America. He knew that every opportunity was precious, and he did not squander the chance to do something great with his life.He worked his way up the ranks, earning a silver medal at the olympics and winning the New York City and Boston marathons, but always remained grateful and humble throughout his journey. This episode is a little shorter than most but make sure you listen to every word because just like in running, Meb makes every moment count.News Notes:https://runningmagazine.ca/sections/runs-races/support-tommy-rivers-puzey-in-the-run-with-rivs-virtual-challenge/https://www.gofundme.com/f/Tommy-Rivers-Rest-UpShow Notes:@gomebhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meb_Keflezighihttps://marathonmeb.com/https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x0RXCPQeKj4https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MTo7zVGBbVcWays to help:Black Lives Matter - Ways You Can HelpBlack Lives Matter Canada spreadsheetMontreal-Based Racial Justice OrganizationsList of American and Canadian Bail FundsNews:Open Vallejo - Vallejo police bend badges to mark fatal shootingsThe Hill - Colorado governor signs sweeping police reform bill ending qualified immunity, banning chokeholdsLos Angeles Daily News - DA Jackie Lacey’s husband charged after allegedly pointing gun at BLM protesters The Nation - Homeland Security Is Quietly Tying Antifa to Foreign PowersEducational materials:Reclaim The Block - Resources and DownloadsCritical Resistance - Abolish PolicingCritical Resistance - Breaking Down the Prison Industrial Complex video seriesSecond Thought - America's Police Problem Hosted on Acast.
