Most runners would be happy to run a sub-40 minute 10K race....

Michael Payson ran a sub-40 minute 12K this weekend in Scarborough, ME.

In the nearly 4 minutes before the #2 finisher crossed the tape, Mike had plenty of time to take a few snapshots of the beautiful Maine foliage, smile for some press photos, and reminisce over the glory days of Polaroid.
