Dam Night Run 5K

ARKADELPHIA — I went through two miles in 14:55, with splits of 7:27 and 7:28, and thought I might break 23 minutes at the Dam Night Run 5K and suddenly felt awful, capitulated to an onset of agony, and went through the third mile in 8:08 and sprinted to give Rick from Benton, with whom I road, along with his 10-year-old daughter Emee, on a flat-bed truck to the start line, the inspiration after he looked at my watch to say, "Congratulations on losing your bet."

I finished in 23:50.8.

Erin Vratil took the under on 23:54 and consequently won $3.

I walked the Orange Street Loop yesterday and this morning.
