This Saturday I will be running in a local 4-mile run race sponsored by the local YMCA. My goal is just to run the race without stopping once to walk. Also on Saturday my cousin Derek is running in a slightly more competitive race with higher aspirations than myself. Derek is running in the Kentucky Class A State Cross Country meet up in Lexington. He is a great runner who has come on strong this year. I don't know if he can place top 5, but I think top 10 is a very realistic goal. I am very proud of him.
The top site for covering Kentucky high school running is ky.milesplit.us. In searching through it the other night, I found a reference to myself and my glory years. I finished 4th in 1993 Class A State 200 meter dash, and they have a record of it. You can see my greatness in all its misspelled glory here: http://ky.milesplit.us/athletes/101947
I think you can do it and I think Derek can do it. Now, as for me, I seriously could not jog, let alone run, 50 yards without stopping! Remember, it will all be "past" in the next moment so enjoy it while you have it!
