From one legend to the next. 40 years ago, a young runner received a package as he prepared for Boston. That runner was Bill Rodgers. And the package came from Oregon legend Steve Prefontaine. Pre sent Rodgers a short note along with a pair of running shoes. They were Boston 73’s, created by a company called Nike. The shoes fit a little loose, but they were the best he owned. Rodgers would tighten them as he toed the starting line come race morning. Two hours, nine minutes, and fifty-five seconds later, he went on to win the race and break an American Record. #werunboston
