Conversations with Larry is a series that I began last year, at the suggestion of my son, Adam. Produced by the Shoe Addicts, our digital partners, I am allowed three minutes to speak on ANY subject. This was a long one, 4 minutes, but we will be attempting daily 2 minute updates on key moments in the European Athletics Championships as a way of updating you, our readers, and also not annoying European Athletics and not breaking their media non right holders rules.

Special thanks to Mike Deering on this one. Of course, my ideas come on walks and creativity does not have a clock. Somehow, Mike found time to get this one done.
