The conditions (as taken from my iPhone at 6:55 a.m.). Cold. Wind. Brutal.
The bloody sock: For the last two weeks, I've developed this crazy problem of clipping my right ankle with my left shoe. It happened today causing the results in the photo. But I persevered. People are already saying it's the grittiest performance since Curt Schilling
in Game Two of the World Series.
The medal: Just like T-Ball, everybody gets one.
My time?: I don't know yet. I was hoping to beat two hours flat, but it'll be close. I'll know later. Edit: Oh, no!!!!! Result: 2:00:15. (That was 128th out of 238th in my elderly old man's division.)
Alvord resident Thomas Aaberg finished his first full marathon in an official time of 3:26:32. (That was 68th overall and 12th in his age division.)
18 year old David Cude of Decatur turned in a smoking 1:24:10 in the half marathon.
If you ran and want me to post your time, let me know. I know Mrs. Jarhead was supposed to run the 10K --- I hope she wasn't delayed by serving him the mandatory Saturday breakfast in bed.
Edit: Almost forget -- the iPod playlist:

Way to go!
I think the group would like to know how your doppleganger Barron Green did.
If you would run like everyone else instead of skipping you wouldn't clip your ankle.
1:31...now that was the funniest thing I've heard this week.
How did Barron Green do?
Double Fake Your Nemesis
To anonymous 1:31...
That was harsh but INCREDIBLY FUNNY!
*StillLOLHysterically*
Ron Johnson (FBC Decatur Youth Minister) finished approximately 1:57:+! Sorry, we missed seeing you finish Barry. We saw David finish, then waited around and saw Ron's wife and family, and waited until we saw him finish. Actually, we were probably still standing around, and you must have gone by us without us knowing it. Congratulations on a good time! It's just good to see David finally getting to run in a distances where he can excel (High School's 5K, 2 mile and 1 mile runs being too short)!

Paul Harvey died. I think we're stuck with Mike Huckaby at 730am
Wow, I feel so special getting a mention on Barry's Blog...I ran the 10 K in 1:01:01...55th in my age group. Congrats on the half!
You'd probably run a better time if you weren't running in Air Jordans.
And what's with the spandex - were you staying downtown for the Rick Sprinfield concert at Billy Bobs that night?
You're f^*#ing 128th out!

Damn that ankle looks painful. Great job Barry !
Did you see Lannie Noble handing out H20?
BG, you need to get you a new farrier. They can fix that clipping problem.
Tim McGraw...dude come on...I hate Cuntry Music...i thought better of you
You have a torn ACL in your left knee. The laxity caused by the loss of support from the torn ACL causes your lower leg to flop in and strike your ankle. Probably have chondromylacia also caused by your altered gait.
Trust me- I'm almost a real fake doctor.
If yould have been in the service you would have learned to run without getting a weggie.That' what causes ankle clipping.HE_HE Really congrat's on taking the time to train and run Barry. DAGO
Barry....dude....you're taste in music is.....well.....awful.
Terrible taste in music but, yeah I'd still do ya.
