"“So I can eat gravy” was my stock response two and a half years ago when first asked what motivated me to start running. I’d done the rounds with diets and didn’t believe I would ever find one that I would stick to for more then a few days at a time. I decided that exercise was the answer and I thought that if I ran I wouldn’t have to worry so much about what I ate. I do love to eat. Months passed and the running became easier, I even trained for and finished my first marathon, but still my weight never did change substantially and to add salt to that wound I found that my pace had slowed as well. But, the marathon was an experience that changed the way I had been looking at running. Within minutes of dragging my ass across that finish-line I was already thinking about what I could have, and should have, done differently and better. I decided immediately that I would be running another marathon but that I would do the next one right. This meant that I would have to take the steps to lose the extra weight and if it included giving up gravy then so be it. I’m twenty pounds lighter now and getting close to my self-imposed “maximum weight to start marathon training” goal and I’m feeling optimistic that this will be the year of my second marathon. I don’t often get asked why I run any more but when asked what has motivated me to loose weight, the answer is “So I can run.” Running works".

Prefontaine Classic meet director and author Tom Jordan
 Tom Jordan is speaking at the Eugene Running Company on Monday, May 28, at 7 pm. He'll speak about the exciting Prefontaine Classic to be held on June 10. We invite you to join us. Raffle prizes courtesy of Nike and the Eugene Running Company.
For more than three decades, Tom Jordan has carried the torch for the late, great Steve Prefontaine. Tom authored the book Pre: The Story of America's Greatest Running Legend, Steve Prefontaine. He also served as consultant on the 1998 Warner Brothers movie "Without Limits".
For 33 years, Tom Jordan has produced the Prefontaine Classic. It is the premiere track and field meet in the United States and the only stop in North America for the prestigious World Athletics Tour. The IAAF ranks it first among all meets held annually outside of Europe. Tom is responsible for bringing the greatest athletes in the world to our community each year. This year the greatest long distance runner in the world, Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele, will be running on Hayward Field. Bekele is the current world record holder for 5000m and 10,000m and is considered by many experts to be the most dominant distance runner of all time.
