Crim

I went up to Flint Friday to sign up for the 10 mile race. had a blowout on the xway and changed tire. Stripped lug - broke off. Crowded expo. Got deal for new shoes from Saucony rep.
Got up early and drove to favorite parking spot. Record crowd of over 10,000 for 10 mile race. Kenyans there as well as US men championship. Lined up, National anthem sung and off. Saw women from YPOM and ran well.@1:46. Hills trashed my legs.
After race, picked up pizza and pop and sat down at a table across from Jim! Watched DJ start "Born in the USA" and hand out US flags - lots of flags waving during song and no Tea Party in sight. Really cool!
Sun, 64 to 80.
