Flashes of Panic

John mentioned this morning’s article in the NYT about Haile Gebrselassie running in the New York City Half-Marathon next month, and linked to some YouTube video of Haile’s two Olympic gold medals.

I could drag out my obligatory picture-of-pjm-with-famous-runner (wow I look young there), but there’s a quote from Geb in the article, about New York City:

“I’ve been there many times,” he said. “I know the roads in Central Park. I haven’t run in the New York City Marathon, but I was there to watch it three or four years ago. I’m running the Berlin Marathon this year because I won it last year, but maybe New York in the future.”

Hmm, I thought, and looked in my iPhoto. I remember that visit…
