They've got a leg up
I was laid up sick for a few days last week, so I apologize for my disappearance. Back to business.
When I was over at the marathon on Saturday, I was surprised how young many of the participants were. By my count, at least 35 runners between the half-marathon and 5K were younger than 20. A couple were listed as 9 years old, an age at which I was about as interested in distance running as I was in campaign finance reform.
So, you young runners out there, what'd you think of the race? Do any of y'all run for your schools, too? And grown-ups, can anyone put into words what it's like to get passed by a pre-teen?
