I'll be running, er, jogging, in next Sunday's Great Race. Look for me toward the back of the pack as we move up and down the Boulevard of the Allies.
Today's pre-race coverage includes this weird quotation from someone who, like me, doesn't have a typical runner's physique:
"Some guy who's 6-2, 6-3 and kind of muscular is going to weigh at least 200 pounds. I don't think your old noseguard or someone like that enters races."
Well, Steve: The first part is true, but the second part ain't. I ran, er, jogged, San Francisco's Bay to Breakers 10K for many years, on a course that's much tougher than what the Great Race offers. In several races I saw the San Francisco 49ers offensive line running, er, jogging, with the rest of the throng. Sometimes they ran with an old quarterback. I know that I ran by Jim Plunkett one year.

Just home. We had a nice 5K. (My second son and I.) Hope all had a fun and safe event.
