Over the 4th of July, Derek, Alexis, and I went to the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon. It was really cool to see professional runners compete and to feel the fans' energy. Although, I am not a runner, it was fun to observe this culture. Some of the pictures you may have to click on to see the image I was trying to capture; my zoom is pretty poor.
A long jumper taking flight.
Mariya Savinova winning the 800m. I remember watching her in the Olympics. 
Women's Steeple Chase
Tirunesh Dibaba winning the 5000m in 14:34.07. Amazing, I am just finishing up my 1st mile in that time. 
Men's 1500.
Another Long Jumper
Walter Dix just beating Tyson Gay in the 200m. He ran it in 19.72 seconds.

How on earth do you justify the comment that you "are not a runner"?? The fact that you know what your time WOULD be says "runner" to me! You rock, Holly.
