Dino won another 5k age group event. Scored $50.00 prize money! I guess i'm a professional athlete now! So much for the olympics (those dreams are over). I got paid for running on Saturday. Maybe that's my out of Akebono... Run for a living. Ha! The race was real inspirational as I witnessed a blind 3d grader sing the nation anthem quite beautifully. the race began inside Churchill Downs... We were called to the start by the official Bugle Call to the derby. Same Dude, Same Call, live and in person. Also, there were about 6 blind runners. Amazing! These blind runners were lead by a guide and a piece of rope.... Amazing trust and they could run pretty good. The overall female winner whom posted a 20 flat was int he middle of her long run in the neighborhood when she saw some people registering outside the gates. On mile 11 she signed up for the race.... turned a 20 min 5k, got her money and finished her 20 mile long run..... impressive.... she passed me on the last half of a mile..... crazy!
