Melanie beat me by nearly 2 minutes and 40 seconds in that race, which doesn't surprise me in the least. In the intervening 10 years, Melanie has become a long-distance racing machine, while I only run when being chased. Or trying to chase away stubborn calories. Stubbornly.
What makes finding this race sheet even better is that I still have a photograph of Melanie and I from that very day, post race. Here it is:
smc and Mel, August 1998
Also in the intervening 10 years, I grew into my head and Mel learned how to open her eyes while smiling. And check out my awesome sparkly blue nail polish! Wolverine Pride! Unfortunately, this nail polish was not aerodynamic, which explains my long lag behind Mel. At least, that's what I tell myself. When I lie to myself.

I feel like I remember stretching my neck like that in an attempt to be as tall as you. Hmmm... good thing I quit that, too. And grew those bangs out.
That's one giant head. I'd forgotten about your massive head. Now I have to go google myself...
Your head has always been adorable and not big at all! Bad seester!
You both look quite pretty and refreshingly young in that picture!
As you both STILL do.
BTW, who's the dude in the background watching you?
Isn't that Gaelen back there? Sorry to be months behind in commenting!
It is good to remember the past, looking back to your old friends memories is so sweet.
