4:00 pm - Jeff Galloway - When I think about Jeff Galloway, I'm reminded of John Bingham's advice to a room full of would-be-marathoners: "Nothing I say will make you slower." Jeff's more recent accomplishments focus on how he's gotten thousands off the couch and entering races. Most of the folks Jeff inspires aren't in the lead pack or even the bubble. Jeff understands the lead pack, himself, though; he represented the US in the 10,000 meter run in the Olympics. - Genesee Business Center Auditorium
