"There is No Finish Line"

Nice quote by Joan Benoit Samuelson, now in her 50s, who just set an American age-group 3K record of 10 minutes 22.69 seconds.

In the "People I Know" category, Jimmy Dean Freeman ended a 6 and a half year quest to break 3 hours in the Tokyo Marathon. He called sub-three earlier today, than backed it up with a 2:58:19 finish. That's 6:48 a mile. Congrats to Jimmy on reaching his goal. No idea on how wife Kate did, but I should know soon.

Meanwhile, as I wait for MRI approval, I can't even run my mouth.

Feels Like Old Times

Over thirty and itching to set a record? The USA Master's Track and Field Indoor Championships happen this Friday through Saturday in Landover, Maryland. Olympic marathon winner Joan Benoit Samuelson, 1981 middle distance champ Henry Rono and other top athletes from back in the day will be gunning for American and world records. Televised? Bwaaa-haha. Who wants to watch a bunch of old wrecks? Other than me, that is.
