But other than that, I was hard pressed to find any PSU connections at all among the 1,400 or so brave souls. Thankfully I was introduced to Rick Robinson (PSU 1980 Biochemistry), who joined fellow "old white Kenyans" Bill Kehner (37 in-a-row!), Tim Kelly (author of the recent book on basketball legend Red Klotz), and felllow podiatrist Ron (Bile) Ferguson. These guys have combined for well over 100 Island Runs in their time.

For the record, I did my usual 3-miler earlier. So as our President recently opined, "Stop the hatin!".
Actually intended to run this. But hit an injury speed bump about six weeks ago. Sorry I couldn't make it!
ReplyDeleteI ran quite of few of them, but now I just hang around and take blurry cell phone pictures instead. That damn race is as bad as any marathon I've ever run. Hot, humid and the wind in your face both directions about sums it up. It takes a stout heart and a fetid mind to consider "streaking" this race.
