I went from a mid distance to long distance runner in my senior year and he was very patient with me. I also learned a few life lessons from him as well. Thanks for spurring the memories.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474434357243196458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-47053883199296571292008-04-22T07:48:00.000-05:002008-04-22T07:48:00.000-05:00If Trail Mix was muddy, then Psycho Wyco was MUDDY...If Trail Mix was muddy, then Psycho Wyco was MUDDY!!!!<BR/><BR/>Nice to have met you this weekend, Steve.

Reall...My new claim to fame is passing Steve Quick. <BR/>Really.<BR/>I did.<BR/><BR/>Here's how:<BR/>I'm nearing the Lake Trail Aid Station on my third lap(1st stop, not the second) and up ahead is Steve. WALKING! <BR/>Walking, I tell you.<BR/>Ah-Ha!! <BR/>My big chance!<BR/><BR/>As I slide by, ready to say something inspiring like,"Hey, come on, man, you can do this thing," secretly figuring how to trip him up if he tries to stagger on, Steve shows me his medal and tells me he's won 1st male.<BR/><BR/>And I not only have to finish this lap, but get to do another because I'm evidently having soooo much fun.<BR/><BR/>Of course, not finishing at the front, the crowds thin out. The possibility of grabbing the opportunity to make an error with a poor joke in front of special people fades in some sort of a diametric manner. <BR/>They've all left . . . .<BR/><BR/>But Eve did yell, <BR/>"Go, Phil! Woooo-WHOO!!" as I started the last lap.<BR/>Better than an energy drink to pick up your spirits.<BR/><BR/>Phillip Gary Smithphillip garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533377127734277639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-10045361773076514682008-04-21T18:58:00.000-05:002008-04-21T18:58:00.000-05:00It was great to see you at the aid station when yo...It was great to see you at the aid station when you took your trip back- Hard to believe after that you would have the energy to go that far back on the course.
