My hard-working agent, David Hale Smith, and I ran the White Rock Half Marathon this morning. We did not exactly run it together, inasmuch as I am a slow old guy and he is a fast young one.  Even so, we are unaware of any other author-agent team that competes in the distance races.

My time was unremarkable but I did finish in the top 100 in my division (males, 55-59 years old).  Barely.

This is also the first time in my life that I can honestly quote the line from Kristofferson's "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down"- "the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for desert."

Great runners' food court at the finish line.

Congratulations to David on a heckuva fast time.
