I remember a year or two ago watching a short story on HBO about a Miami legend who has ran 8 miles every day on South Beach since 1975 and has never missed a day for nothing, including injuries or even hurricanes. Hurricanes Irma, Andrew, Katrina and Wilma have passed through the area, but they have not been able to keep sidelined.
When I ran into him on Muscle Beach South Beach, we had a brief conversation and he allowed me to take a few quick photos. 4 to be exact, but this one was my favorite one.
Apparently he has an exceptional memory and if you complete the 8 mile run with him, he’ll give you a nickname. Since 1975, over 2,700 people have ran alongside him and he can recall every one of them and the nickname he gave them. I think I am going to give this a shot. I might have to change my Social Meida handle ChadAndreoPhoto one day.
