April 19, 2022 – For him, sobriety is a daily process.

“Fourteen years, three months, and three days,” Dodd says. “I was 48 when I got sober.”

Dodd shares his elite level marathon knowledge to a new generation.

“I qualified as an 18 year old for the Boston Marathon, which is extremely rare,” Dodd says. “And then ran it as a 19 year old. Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon I ran two hours and 19 minutes, and 38 seconds, which is my personal best time. For those that might not know, that’s under 5 minutes and 20 seconds per mile for 26.2 miles.”

All while teaching kids for 26 years that there is a better way.

“Giving my life and my will over a power greater than myself, which I choose to be God,” Dodd says. “But you know my God could be anything. It could be good orderly direction. It could be great outdoors. It could be doing all the things that I love, that alcohol took me away from.”
