John J Kelley

Posted by Roger M on November 20, 2007, 10:08 am, in reply to "08 plans???"

I met John J Kelley at his running store "Kelly's Place" in Mystic Connecticut fall of 2006 prior to the last Mystic Marathon. It was cool to meet him. I did not know that he had a store and only stopped in while the wife was hitting all the other stores. I told him that I ran the Breakers Marathon in Rhode Island that day and was going to run the Mystic Places Marathon the following day. He signed and gave me a book written by Jock Semple and himself "Just Call Me Jock". Very nice guy!
