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.
