Athletes, Weather, and Huge Respect

There are athletes and then there are ATHLETES. Young women who will dangle from ribbons, over asphalt, upside-down in freezing rain, to support the lower-case athletes that are running past them in a marathon. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

See the marathon-runner crossing the footbridge?

See the naked asphalt below her?

The background is the parking garage walled with metal 'drying codfish'. They were rippling in the wind.

Ah, memories. I ran a half-marathon in that weather once. Just about froze to death. Imagine staying warm, without running, for hours! My friend ran by. I cheered, then ducked back inside.
