15 done. Enjoying a nice bowl of cereal before my shower. Just after mile 11, a girl in a high school cross country shirt flagged me down and challenged me to a race, maybe 100m. I said OK, but boy was I stiff. She didn't beat me too badly, though. Her friends were all there taking videos. Maybe I'll be youtube famous by the end of the day: "High school runner outsprints old lady who is carrying everything but the kitchen sink and just ran 11 miles."

I am still proud of myself for outkicking a young girl to pass her up at the very end of my 5k in Feb. Although of course we had both just run the same distance. And when I say young - I checked the results and saw she was in the 10-14 AG. So she might have been in high school.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

I had a friend who was chicked by a young girl in a 10K. I think she was 9. Of course she was also the OA women's winner and this was a tune-up for running the Broad Street 10M the next day.
