SHOE SALESMAN

is what I am and a runner, no more. None the less, it was great to get out and see a race from another vantage point this morning. I was on the sideline with a camera in hand and boxes of shoes and apparel.

As for the race, I was really impressed with everyone who ran for our team. Please note, that because we registered as a team at the last minute, we did not get scored as a team. This is OK, in my humble opinion, since 99.9% of the teams for this race are compiled simply for fundraising efforts as opposed to winning the prize for best team.

None the less, I am sure we won as Crane was the only Pacer male(i think), and Askey, Murphy And Dickman were all right behind him. Melissa was #2 overall and beat out the Pacer girls.

PS.

This Sunday, I am meeting some of the kids(literally) at the G-town store at 7:30am for a run out at great falls. Young phenoms Johns Ross, Andrew(last name please), Ayallu(correct spelling?) are joining me, Melissa and some others out at Difficult Run. We begin the run at 8:15am as myself and the boys need to be back by 1100ish so that we can attend to our craft as the Nation's Capital best running shoe salesman.
