Amby Burfoot on the Fifth Avenue Mile. I ran it once, years ago. Donald Trump was the sponsor and he was there, with his funny hair and all. It was fun-- a straightaway mile, with an Elite heat after ours (EGA ran a kids heat) so that you could watch world class runners on the same course you'd been on. Burfoot mentions that he thinks the event belongs on any runner's "life list", which has got me thinking about what else might be on mine. The New York Marathon, I suppose. Sooner or later. Boston, certainly, if I manage to live long enough to see my qualifying time come back far enough....
