Former Purdue Athlete Tate Schienbein Finishes 17th at Boston Marathon

As a blogger at Hammer and Rails I get to take certain indulgences when I write. Sure, I was able to get some answers from a man who just finished 17th in the Boston Marathon, but how does this relate to me? Well, because I used to run against Tate Schienbein. To give a brief set-up for this interview let me set the scene. I’m 32 years old, he is 24. Back in the early to mid 2000’s I would compete in the Liberty Freedom Run around July 4th. It’s a 4.7 mile race with rolling hills throughout that takes place in Liberty, Indiana.
