Who Knew?

Nicholas Sparks is today’s Guest Blogger?  Well, sort of – via video clip.

Nicholas Sparks was a track star at Notre Dame.

Who knew?

And it was plantar fasciitis that ended one career and promoted another. Sounds a bit familiar, only different.

Nicholas Sparks wrote his first novel at 19.  Around the same time, (1985),  he and three other half-milers set the Notre Dame two-mile relay school record (7:20.11), which still stands today.

How do I know this?  Facebook led me to this video interview with Nicholas Sparks and he’s standing next to the Notre Dame track & Field record book.

Wonder if he still runs?
