Workplace Romance
Ros and Pat met while working at Calspan, a Buffalo engineering company, in 2012. They remained friendly colleagues until spring of 2013 when Ros was putting together a relay team for the Buffalo Marathon. Ros was brainstorming with Pat’s boss, George, over who of their coworkers would be willing to round out their relay roster. She asked George, “What about Pat? He’s young.” George said, “I don’t think so, Pat doesn’t run.”
Undeterred, Ros asked Pat if he’d like to join their relay, to which he said, “Sure!” Pat saw this as a way to spend time with and get to know Ros better, even though he hadn’t run a mile in years. They soon regularly met up after work for runs to get Pat in shape, and from then on, Ros and Pat were together. Through thousands of miles run, four marathon training cycles, job changes, law school, and life’s ups and downs, they’ve been each other’s greatest supporters.
