Sidelight: Jim Fritz
April 01, 2024
Educators do a lot of
running around. But then theres Jim Fritz,
superintendent of Anthony Wayne Local School District in Whitehouse, Ohio. He
figures hes logged 18,000 miles of roadwork on foot over the past 10 years as
he has completed four of the six World Major Marathons (Berlin, Boston, Chicago
and New York) with intentions to run in London this month and Tokyo next March.
Fritz, 52, started running because of its importance to personal wellness. A
superintendent since 2010 (and 51蹤獲 member for 14 years), he describes the
marathon experience as similar to the school year. You start off happy,
excited and halfway through you feel youve accomplished something. Mile 18
or 20 you begin to question whether you can do it. It becomes more mental than
physical Once youve finished, you want more.
