Dang You, Eddie Martinez!

My system for placing in weekend races continues to pay off.  My lovely wife and I ran in the annual St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Youth Ministries
5K this morning. My wife placed first in her age group (beating
everyone in 3 age groups younger, too), while I took a second in my age
group.

However, I relearned an important lesson. During the race, another
fellow and I ran pretty much neck and neck; first he led, then I did,
then finally he did. Sure enough, he was in my age group, and he beat
me by a measly 16 seconds! Lesson: never let up.
