Long ago and far away

I remembered something today that my family will find hard to believe. When I was a young girl I ran races for the joy of running and when I was about 10 years old I entered the 50 yard dash in the Carroll county fair at that time all the schools in Carroll county would enter their students in the athlete competition such as running, broad jumping and other athletic exercises.
I won first place and won the blue ribbon. I was the fastest runner in Carroll county. I know it is hard to believe now but it is true.
