1. A truck pulled out of the Crestwood Manor Apartments on to North Lookout, where runners had come by moments earlier. A race traffic controller waved at the truck to stop. As he approached the vehicle, the driver took off barreling past the checkpoint. "Did anyone get his license plate? I clearly was yelling at him to stop. Then he locked his doors, and took off."
2. A soldier decked out in full army gear came walking by. I said, "It must be hard to run in all that heavy gear." Slaughter's response, "These colors don't run."
3. My wife said, "It's more than a t-shirt, you get a medal too."

6. At least one person said, "I'm running it next year."
7. Kevin's neighbor came by and said, I'm surprised you're not running Kevin."
"I don't run for competition. I'm just running to stay alive long enough to see my grandkids."
8. Tracy Dean learned how to play Uno Moo.
