There are TONS of kids similar to GF. Burned bright, faded out too soon. What was his pro contract worth? Running isn't a real pro sport for the vast majority of guys and gals tinkering away at it. At some point you have to get a real job with that degree in Exercise Science or some random BA in home ec.

Work as a teller at a local bank; fire department; fight Chris Chavez to the death in a cage battle.

The health roller coaster continued during Fernandez's sophomore year. He started thinking about the London Olympics, then still three years away, and ratcheted up his miles. He had hit 60–70 his senior year of high school, then bumped it up to 80 and 90 early into college. "I figured the more miles I did, the faster I would get," he says. "But the more miles I did, the more broken I became."
