Vote for Pedro
I made the cut! I submitted a story in Steve Stenzel's Tales of a Virgin Athlete contest and I'm in the top 10. There were 34 submissions, so that's a big deal to me. I was actually nervous about it and was hesitant to open Steve's email naming the finalists.
I read all the submissions and they're great! Some are funny, some are poignant, many are inspiring. Steve had ten people judge the entries to whittle it down to a manageable number. That must have been tough to do. There were a few entries that I thought should have made the cut (but who am I to quibble with the judges.) He'll put the final stories up on his blog tomorrow and open the voting up to you. I think it will be a blind vote, meaning no names associated with the stories, so that it won't be based on personalities.
In the interest of fairness, I won't tell you which is my entry until the judging is over. Not that the eight people who read this blog can tilt the results in my favor. But if you get a chance, go to his blog and vote. Voting for the top three starts Sunday, March 15; I don't know when the contest closes. Wish me luck!

Thanks! I liked your story too :) It's neat to see what other runners chose to submit!
I really enjoyed your story and voted for you - perhaps my thighs can relate all too well. I also like finding new blogs so I look forward to scrolling through yours. Take care!
Hi Dori! I just read your story on Steve's blog and I have to say, it's hysterical! (I only laugh because I can relate.)
Good luck!
