Feel like a Winner

I decided to begin by training for the first 3 minutes of the race where we sprint out ahead of everyone and Gabe jumps out with a ribbon that we break as he takes a photo of us with 10,000 runners in short shorts and bright white shoes behind us. Kristen, whose slow day consists of 7 minute miles, took me on a nice jaunt through the cardboard houses of Hillsboro. I felt great when I sprinted ahead of her, turned around to face her, and screamed, "What've got!!!" She calmly looked at her watch, smiled, and said, "We've gone about a mile." By the way, she smiled at my shoes.
