I've met some committed athletes in my life. Estero High School cross country coach Jeff Sommer is one of the most committed ones I've ever met. I worked on a story about coach Sommer a couple weeks back and photographed an intense running camp he was leading and participating in. The interesting part about Sommer's story is that he suffered a severe heart attack about 14 years ago that nearly killed him. Doctors told him that he wouldn't be able to be back in running condition.
After a long road of getting back into shape, Sommer ran in the Naples Daily News Half Marathon with his two daughters and son. Along with his children, Sommer's grandchildren were at the running camp cheering everyone on.
Thanks for looking everyone.
