I managed two unexpected experiences at my race this morning. First, even without anything I could remotely call training, I managed a sub twenty-four minute run (I'll post an official time once I have it). Second, I got totally smoked by a ten-year-old kid. When he took off at the gun I was thinking, "Yea, he'll blow up in about five hundred yards." Well, the egg sure was on my face three miles and just barely twenty-three minutes later when when he crossed the line about hundred yards in front of me.

Anyway, I have nine weeks to finish getting ready for the half-marathon in December. This was a better beginning than I expected, and maybe that kid will start smoking between now and then.
