At the top of his class....

The Montgomery County Road Runners magazine arrived yesterday. It may not be Runners World, but it's a big deal in the county and this is the issue with the end-of-the-year awards.

And yes, that is Tom at the top of his age group. Runners are ranked by the points they earn in their top 5 races out of 12. You might get a point for running, but you really earn points by winning your age group.

That's the good news, but now the pressure is on. It's a new year. He's no longer the anonymous new kid on the block. Will he be tripped up by Joseph? Joe? Roger? Bill? Will he rest on his laurels? Will I be able to keep up with the laundry?
