Runs OK With Others
I love to run in races. It's a chance to toe up to the starting line with a few hundred or thousand like-minded people. You get snacks, a nifty tee shirt and a shiny medal to show off your accomplishment. And it's even more fun to run with friends. Because then you have people …
