Run for Peace 10k images.

As I crossed the line and someone said: "You know, you didn't really run a 10k."

Receiving my award which was a 2-night stay in a waterfront hotel in Berkeley.

Polite smiles.

Followed by the following exchange: 

Man: So I hope you have someone to use those rooms with you?

Me: Why, are you interested? 

Man: totally embarrassed. Me? What? No... I mean....

Me: Ha, ha. ha. 

[Internal dialogue: Man this rocks. This totally rocks.]

Olympic Trials, come what may. I'm running no matter what.
