Time to start thinking about the next Freihofer's run. Well, ok, not really, but perhaps.
Marathon champion Alberto Salazar once said "Standing on the starting line, we are all cowards."
I was unexpectely delighted to read this quote today. You see, my first /last / only 5K, I stood at the very back of the pack waiting for the starting horn and tears trickled out, because I was terrified that everyone around me would run away and I'd be last, and people would be pointing and laughing.
I did finish the race though...and I wasn't even last.
