Outside The Box: Joe Gaspari

Joe Gaspari came to us looking for a supplement to his running. You see, Joe has been running for quite a while. On top of that, Joe has been overdue for hip replacement because of a degenerative joint for years now. He still runs the Dallas Marathon every year but what is most impressive is that he has completed six pervious Boston Marathons. His goal this year was to complete his seventh and final Boston before going under the knife. Joe credits his training at EDCF for keeping him on his feet long enough to cross the finish line one more time. We just credit Joe’s stubbornness.
