Episode 18: Let WEPA Show You How Queens Is Doing it, Doing it, and Doing it Well!
Everyone has a different origin story for why they started running. For Gerardo Rodriguez, it was the death of a former student to cancer at just 24 years old. Gee aka El Oso Blanco then decided to turn his own life around and dive into running. It was 2015, and he has not looked back. The founder of the WEPA run crew in Queens, now has the 2017 NYC Marathon and multiple half marathons on his running resume. On our latest episode, he discusses sharing the running journey with his students, creating the Queens Running Collective, and never letting the naysayers get the last laugh.
