Anything for a Column

Glasgow Courier intern Erica Doornek, struggles to finish the 5K race in Glasgow's annual Longest Dam Run. She finished with a time of 42:21, one second before her father, Jerry, right. Erica recounted the experience in column for the paper.

My favorite passage:

"After a few stretches of walk/jogging, my arms grew leaden, my breath came in desperate gulps, and a sourness grew in my stomach. That morning’s Cheerios began churning violently upward, and my retching signaled an imminent disaster. I somehow managed to not puke, but it may have been better if I had."
