Just to Show the World I was Here
Someone asked me why I run face after race, marathon after marathon. There are probably many reasons but one that comes to mind is the most simple...and perhaps the most true. For every race I finish a little entry is made on a log book and website somewhere. It's soon forgotten by almost everyone. But it is still a record and it show the world that I was here.
These are the races I plan to do this year. I have no idea what my best 10K time ever is, but it's safe to assume when I started getting into this running thing, that I went out at top speed at some race and banked enough time to get a fast time, though sucked wind at the end. The greater distances like halfs and fulls are easier to research as I have the majority of the race results hanging on my den.
