Maris Stella Yacht Club and Crabbing and Running Society

It was only a 5K but the important thing is that not only did I run it but I also have decided to keep running on a regular basis. So, summer 2004, a new-old runner will be sweating the Loveladies-Barney-loveladies trip. I met all my goals. I was a little concerned about the heart attack part since no training put some stress on the myocardial system but actually after 2Ks my breathing adjusted and it was just a matter of coping with leg muscle pain. The nice butt 10 meters ahead of me was just the inspiration I needed to keep going when the going got tough. But unfortunately she quit at about 4k and I had to go it alone to the finish. Someone passed me at about 1/2 K to go and I actually had enough to pass him back and we raced to the finish. We passed a few others and it felt great to finish strong. Probably only 400 or 500 runners finished before me. That means I finished in front of 800 or 900. Next year I'm going to win my age group! The Chancellor beat me by 6 minutes. My time? Hey, give me a break.
