I bet Flipper went to Pasadena to check out the hotties at the Race for a Cure run too. Bastard!"
Masami Fukuhara 45:27 7:19 6AG Catherine Burch 46:45 7:31 10AG, PR Michael Berger 47:32 7:39 PR"I am very happy to report that I set a pr for the 10K distance today at the Dolphin Run. I ran 47:32, eclipsing my old 10K record of 47:54 from the 1996 race. I give the credit to my coach Eric Barron and to all of my Track Club LA friends who helped me to train smart and love it. Catherine Burch ran a p.r. by more than a minute. Her official time was 46:45 but she told me that 2 people passed her in the chute after the finish and that her real time was 46:33. Catherine and I were both interviewed for a local cable channel and I gave a plug to Track Club LA. Catherine and I both ran with the fluorescent shoe laces that Paul Anderson gave us; this was my small tribute to him for all the help and the inspiration that he has given to me at the track, with the LA Leggers, on Palos Verdes runs during the summer, and now at Niketown too."
Fiona Karlin 51:53 8:21 7AG Sharon Yamato 52:24 8:26 5AG"there were NO MILE MARKERS!!!! (not even cardboard signs!). Since I was doing it as a training run for Long Beach (at my slo-o-o-w marathon pace), it was tough to keep from going really fast (just kidding!)."
