This incident dates back to when Goldwyn was still in college and worked at a great summer theatre, the Williamstown Theatre Festival.
In his time there, he'd made a friend whom he claimed was now the godfather to his children. Circling back to the story, this friend was supposedly obsessed with a girl—Jane, and this girl was super into running.
Having been brought up in Queens, this friend was not exactly a runner and hence didn't own any running shoes. In fact, on his previous date, he had run bare feet and had bruises on his feet.
So, he asked Goldwyn if he could borrow a pair of running shoes. Of course, Goldwyn complied.
This friend, whose name remained undisclosed, went on to invite Goldwyn to run with them. The threesome ended up running to a beautiful pond when the idea of going skinny-dipping started forming.
