st. pat's - race day

Ah, tomorrow. A day of bars opening early in the morning for the glorious celebration of St. Patrick's Day.

Also important is the Manhattan, Kansas, St. Pat's Day Race. The grisled veteran runner, Mike Postiglione, steps out onto the pavement once again. This time, it's a 10K that he's running (roughly 6 miles). He hasn't run an official race since the Linz Half-Marathon in Linz, Austria on April 18th, 2004. How will he fare? Only time will tell, as it will most probably be a battle of willpower and shin splints.

What motivates him? Specifically, the glory of crossing the finish line, the post-race barbecue in Triangle Park, and the celebration of St. Patrick's Day that shall follow.

Wish the running man good luck.
