wear red shorts

In a marathon photo from Niagara Falls, 1996 I can be seen approaching the finish line on, as I recall, a very cold and windy day. The shot takes me back.

I liked my red shorts. They didn't show the sweat

I liked my bib number. Easy to remember

My hair and beard were black!? Not so today

New shoes. I may still have them

Itchy blue shirt. I still have it

I was no Saint. It was fun, however, to hear people yell, "Go Saints!"

I changed into street clothes while inside a portable toilet. I almost lost my medal

I don't marathon today. Looking at dozens of old race photos is plenty good enough for me.
