Run physicists run
5.30 AM on a humid morning, a few hundred physicists gathered on dark street corners waiting to head over to Houston’s Memorial Park for AAPM’s annual 5k fun run, sponsored by Gammex. Sensibly waiting until the sun actually rose, the race kicked off an hour later, with around 175 brave souls lining up at the start.
And they’re off: the starting line
The winner - with a time of 17 minutes 35 seconds - was Yevgeney Vinogradskiy, a student at MD Anderson Cancer Center and a first-time runner of this race. "It was a great course and well organized," he told me at the finishing line. "And it’s always good to come first."
Simon and Zoe just ran 5k.
As for our own runners, PMB publisher Simon Harris came in at an impressive 22:38, while medicalphysicsweb’s Zoe Anderson - a first time runner in this (or actually any) race, crossed the line at 38:10. Well done to you both. As for me… I just watched - well somebody had to take the photos.
