I'M RANKING!

Relaxing on the floor watching TV this afternoon when my wife walks in and says "You're ranking!" I responded "Alright, I'll just finish watching this and go take a bath" No sooner had I said that when I was struck in the back of the head with the new edition of "Japan's Marathon Yearly, top 100, Rankings."

Seems like I'm 21 again! That is, I ranked 21st on the list of top 100 hundred 45 year old marathon runners in Japan, last year! The number 1 ranked 45 year old who raced a marathon in Japan last year did it in 2:29:57. With my new beard I'm going to go gunning for that fella ;)



Having trouble scanning this book but when I do I'll show you some of the stats, really pretty interesting.

    That fella will run the other way if you don't take a bath between now and the race.

    I like that beard. It's similar to the one Rob de Castella sported when he first won the City to Surf.

    So I can tell people I know a guy who's on a GOOD list. Cool, because most of my friends seem to be on the FBI's most wanted lists.

    I wonder if those 20 runners know who's gunning for them?

    Well done!!
