Of course, the reader saw the significance of the name "Dick".

I believe in always seeking the positive in spite of. For one, your race and husband inspired this well-written flash fiction, which is definitely deserves to place in a top-ten.

You are to be commended for your running in your 40's. It is healthy to get some form of exercise always. I walk about 3-5 miles a day and I am 82 y/o.

    When I divorced the Dick I divorced running. I resumed running at 55 and quit recently at age 63. I walk a few miles daily too!

Hilarious! There are a lot of Dicks RUNNING around. Ha. You amaze me with the spin that you put on true tales that make them so freaking funny! Thanks for the giggle. I need to get some sleep and now I'm thinking about running, smirking Dicks. Ha

Wow. Are you kidding? What ever happened to this Dick? He does make great fodder for flash-fiction though. I wouldn't be brave enough to write it!
Cheers, Liz!

What a competitive family, I used to compete in running and my 1 mile time was 12 minutes. I was never very competitive in running but I have always been doing exercising.

Well done

You sure have your trials. Your husband was a one-upmanship fellow.
Elizabeth, the first paragraph delayed my reading because I was laughing so much at your dubbing of your husband. I agree.

Counting the order of finish starts at the front, not the back. Didn't matter how many were in the race. Dale Earnhardt the NASCAR driver always said: "Second place is the first loser."

    So that made me the eighth loser!

    That statement applies only to Dale Earnhardt. TeeHee

This is a very cute and very well written humor in a flash fiction story. I enjoyed it. You used very good descriptive words and very nice imagery from the art work you chose. Thanks for sharing! love, teri

But there were "dozens" in the 40-something range of runners, right? So how was there just nine? I must have missed something. And you're right Dick is a terrible jokester.

    That one race happened to have only nine.
