Listen "Master's Edition: Robert Gonzales. No Quitting, Always Aspiring."
Episode Synopsis
Robert Gonzales ran his first 50K about a month ago.
He is 74 years old.
He had a mishap during that race that later required surgery, but he finished the race in 8:47, well ahead of others much younger.
Gonzales tells me about his running journey, with credit to his coach, Christi Myers Faulk, and his daughter, Roxanne Lockhart.
He is not ready to stop at a 50K. He now has his sights on getting a 100-mile buckle.
