This morning, as I picked up my bib for the 5K sponsored by a local fraternity, it was obvious that I was the only competitor over the age of 20. But I had something that those young nubile things did not have: a large cheering section.
On the last turn, 100 yards before the finish line I heard, "Go Mommy! Run faster!"
One spectator counted heads after the race and looked me up and down, before asking me in an incredulous voice, "Are they all yours?"
"Yep."
I don't think I exactly fit her preconceived notion of a mom, especially since I beat a great many of the college girls (and boys).
Final time: 22:08 (best adult time ever)
