Memories of Tom

admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 01:00:15 +0000

We have all lost a good friend and a great coach. Each of us has many fond memories of Tom. Here are just ten:

10. His influence could be seen all along the MINI this year, showing his support of runners and walkers of all abilities and paces.

9. When he told you that you run a race faster than you had before or thought you could, you believed him rather than yourself.

8. You learned that in running, there were 2 ways to become better — the wrong way and the HATHA-WAY.

7. Thomas Jefferson Hathaway — he was named after an American hero, and to us, he was one.

6. His “Prepare for the worst day of your life” speech was the most motivational talk most of us have ever heard.

5. How much simpler of a way to clear your head when faced with a difficult decision than his saying of “When in doubt, go for a run”.

4. You learned new thing s every time you took his class, no matter how many years you attended.

3. If, after 8 miles of a hot, 10 mile run, you passed by Tom, and he said to you “Looking Good”, you instantly felt much better. Of course, Tom didn’t run with his glasses on.

2. Imagine how many problems of people, nations, and the world could be solved not by blaming or fighting with others, but by quitting your griping and just “SUCK IT UP”.

1. Tom made us all realize that the greatest joy in our running and walking was not in winning races or setting a PR, but was to be found in something as simple as a kind, encouraging word from Coach and a plain marble.

Rest in Peace, Our Beloved Coach.
