Which way to Beijing?

O.K. so it was a really small town/village 4th of July festival but it was a 10K nonetheless. And since it is an Olympic year they gave out medals.    |

.........good enough for third place.   40:48 Like I said, small town deal. Good time for me but at any "real" 10K race it's back in the pack. |

you couldn't get any farther away in Michigan from where i live. 560 miles Tell me about it! 400+ from Minneapolis. I haven't done a road trip like that since I was a kid. My wife's friend is from the Houghton area and her mom and one of her sisters still live up there. The friend, her sister and her brother bought a cabin on Superior last year and we decided to accept their standing invite to visit. |

If I'm going to run that far, there better damn well be something chasing me with the intent to kill and or maim me. I can think of no other good reason. But congrats anyway.  |

.........good enough for third place. 40:48 Well, pretty good considering you were running in knee-deep snow, right? (I don't even want to think about what my time would be today. Probably around 48 minutes.  ) |

Before they send me to the ER for an angioplasty...
Congratulations on the great time!

That's like a 6.75 40. More like an 8.78, ignoring the unevenness in velocity. |
