It was quite a bit above freezing, and completely without wind this year. You'll notice the unfrozen puddles. Last year this race was COLD, and the year before it was even COLDER and WINDY! We really lucked out this year! :-)
I'm SLOW. I take walk breaks when I get too tired, too hot, too sore...I take pictures, and clown around on course. I have a great time - but I don't Finish at the FRONT of the pack! :-)
Yes, I ran it! I'm the local pho-JOG-rapher. I run, I find a spot to jump out of the way, turn and take a pic or two, jump back into the race. I don't WIN the races...but I wouldn't win even if I ran my butt off!
* Life is change.
** Born in New Jersey. (A Jersey Girl, but I don't know "What Exit".) I went to college in Iowa. (NOT in a cornfield, but close.) I was a New Yorker. The proverbial Struggling Actor in Manhattan, and surviving pretty well for 20-something-ish years (I *heart* New York.)
*** Now I live below the Mason-Dixon line. (But I'm born and bred a YANKEE.)
***For awhile, I was an avid-almost-rabid runner, running WITH my camera much of the time. I have been experiencing some "aging ? and other issues", but I still doggedly clod-hoppily-plod my way through events, camera usually in hand. Now I'm even SLOWER than I used to be. *** :-P ***
** I used to help socialize local humane society cats in their foster home, and take photos for the website, but my Haven kitties moved to a farm in Virginia in May 2018. ~meow~
Awaiting my next incarnation, or not....***
I still have a phondness for photography & a recurring Flickr Addiction, so go see my photos!

(you can't be to careful...not to mention, I'm Canadian, I certainly don't want to offend anyone.. :)
As usual your blog is pure art. Your pictures are wonderful and every run looks like a lot of fun for everyone. Great blog, compliments!
Whew, looks way to hilly for me!!
What about those folks carrying off armloads of loot from the food tables? Are they the ones who wipe them clean before I get there???

I like the idea of running in a kilt ... not on a windy day though!
