Ken goes on a 4-5 mile walk every morning except Sunday. He uses our wonderful trail system. He is friendly. He always says good morning to everyone he passes- some walking, some running, some riding bikes. He often sees the same people day after day. They are also victims of positive habits.
He often sees the same lady on her bicycle as she speeds by on her way to work. A couple of weeks ago, she stopped her bike to talk to him. He found out she is a local doctor and rides her bike quite a distance to work each day. She also coaches a mountain bike team at a local high school. For several years, Ken passed and greeted a young girl who rode her bike to school every single day- rain or shine. Somehow, he found out her name and would greet her by name. She would never respond to him (probably thought he was a creepy, old guy!) but she knew him. Turns out, this Dr. was her high school biking coach. She went on to ride for Utah State University's mountain biking team, taking many medals. She and her coach had talked about Ken and labeled him "The Good Morning Guy."
So, Ken has a new handle. Feel free to use it on him!
Ken found his new friend on Strava and saw this post. I asked him to copy it so I could share it here:
