Run, Phil, Run

Here I am in the 1997 "Run to the Far Side" 5K (there's also a 10K).

This is near the end of the race...As you can see, I've just passed a 12-year-old kid, and I'm closing in on a gray-haired old man. I finished in around 21:30.

I ran the 5K again today (as I write this---November 29,1998), in a glacially slow 22:50. But hey, I'm out of shape, and I have a bruised rib, and my shoe came untied, and the first 1/4 mile was so crowded I couldn't really run, and, um, it was a low biorhythm day for me, and, er, I think I'm coming down with something...

What can I say, I'm not built for distance.

 

Yeah, yeah, I know, apparently I'm not built for speed, either.
