Strawberry Fair 5K run



The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

Gary that's awesome man! Congratulations!
It's not about the competing or the winning man. Hell, I finished DEAD LAST in a triathlon I did a week ago. You ARE a winner by taking on the challenge to run and complete that race. You beat the course. That's what matters. Most importantly that moment crossing the finish line is YOURS and it's something you will never forget.
People that don't train or race just don't understand and unless they do train and race they will NEVER understand. I try to explain it but it never seems to come out right. I do triathlons and long distance running because I CAN. It's about the nerves. It's about the wind in my face when I run. It's about the sand between my toes before the swim. It's about the training. It's about running in the rain. It's about the PAIN, it's about the EXHAUSTION, it's about the mental and physical FATIGUE. It's about theamazing rush of emotions that I experience when I cross the FINISH LINES... It's ALL about the FINISH LINE! Bet it felt good didn't it? :)
Once again, congrats man. Helluva accomplishment! Pat yourself on the back dude.
