I got my name in the paper!

Ok, granted, this is like, one month old. But, a month ago today, I ran a 5k and won my age group. This wasn't my fastest time for a 5K, but it is the first time I've run a race where I was faster than everybody as old as me. Its funny, I've written hundreds of newspaper stories, done radio and tv shows in my previous life as a sportswriter, had people come up to me and say they've read something I've written. But, to get my name in the agate of the sportspages, it's like I earned it. I mean, they paid me to be a writer. Nobody paid me to be fast on this day.

On another note, I ran some hills around the university near my apartments. Some very steep, I mean very steep. I only did six miles and I was bushed. I think I need to do these at least twice a month and maybe that will make me stronger when I run marathons.
