They can run but get no official time. <BR/><BR/>PS - Some of the Three Dog Night members were wearing bell bottoms, but the size that is fashionable now, not as big as back in the 70's.ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-612272236876266262008-05-21T21:15:00.000-04:002008-05-21T21:15:00.000-04:00hey, i'm 51! that coulda been me...if i were fast....hey, i'm 51! that coulda been me...if i were fast. or trained. or something.<BR/><BR/>loved the punch line of this. damn kids!<BR/><BR/>and congrats!<BR/><BR/>(I know two other people looking for july 4 races in DC proper. let me know if you find any)jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105083650427355181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-57788613608943393932008-05-21T17:56:00.000-04:002008-05-21T17:56:00.000-04:00That is exactly why I don't even see the pre-teens...That is exactly why I don't even see the pre-teens (or even 8 year olds) when I run competitions. It does seem to me, though, that there was on young in appearance individual that went tearing past me in the first mile of a recent 10K. I was forced to discount that brave display as I assumed he dropped out due to not pacing himself correctly! At least I did not see him for the rest of that race!<BR/><BR/>As always, Peter, thanks for sharing. As if, most of the time, I don't feel woefully inadequate anyways...<BR/><BR/>And I do agree...
