Winners never cheat, and cheaters never win


The Races2Run website has posted our Blue Hen 5K finishing times and pictures. After running lots of 5k's, I finally had my picture taken for the website! I finished in 28:37 - not my best effort, but not bad considering the lack of sleep. Thanks to Katie for this picture in front of the Independence dorms. We were very impressed by the new dorms - quite an upgrade from Pencader!

One of the blogs I like to follow is written by Wayne Kursh - the race director who manages most of the 5K's that I run in the Wilmington area. He had a very interesting post about how he catches those who cheat a marathon course by taking shortcuts. After reading some of the comments, it's apparent that there are some who are ready to tar and feather these cheaters.

My next race is the Dub C 4 miler. For those not in the know, "Dub C" is the nickname for West Chester... "Dub" as in double-u (W) and C for Chester. I'm looking forward to the nice flat course and post-race gathering on Gay Street.
