At "Run for the American Dream" on Saturday morning, I was third woman overall in the 10k race. Don't be too impressed. As you might imagine given how fat and slow I am, this is a teeny weeny little race. There were just 24 runners in the 10k. I was 3 of 11 women, 2 of 5 in my age group (not even the fastest woman in my age group!) and 10 of 24 overall. If you think my trophy is ridiculous, you should have seen the huge, honking trophy you got for first place. I wasn't that far behind the first 2 women, at least. I was just 40 secs behind second place and less than a minute behind first. If I had wanted to bust a gut, I could have taken them. I did have the lead for the first two miles.
