How cool! They gave you a medal!
"like running on the L.A. freeway"
You are right - background chatter is hilarious.
A medal AND a cannon.
Nice work dude! You didn't even look tired. I'm sure you had a few more miles left in you.
Dix,
I am so proud of you. The fact that you could run by your mother with out an "Oh Mom!" when she calls an olympic quality marathon runner...."Honey Bun." You are a man of amazing determination....
The video makes this so much more real...thanks for posting it.
