Here are pictures of some of the great people that showed up to run in the Paddy's Road Race. As you can tell I met Eddie and Julie after the race. We met while listening to great Irish music in Paddy's Pub. Carbo loading is the favorite part of a race for all 3 of us.

Kayleen and I saw each other before the race. We noticed each other partially because she was wearing her Boston Marathon wind breaker and I was wearing mine. The coats have a way of opening people up to each other because----well just because.

Michelle and Craig arrived at about the same time as I did so we parked facing each other. I also saw them while running the course. Their friendly smiles made it easy to ask for a picture.

You should run this race next year so you can enjoy the runners and the volunteers (some of whom you'll meet in the next entry).

To me every race is a place to find your story for the day. It's people like all these people that make the story of the day a great memory.

Go to this race next year and you will find a great story for yourself.
