I began LAST, as usual, but ended 4th from the last. (Liza, of course, stopped at the turn-around and WAITED for me and the runner behind me, then she ran back carrying
the CONE on her head...so I don't think that really COUNTS as being after me...(?)
The "Nutcracker" Firehouse 5K was run on Christmas Eve Day.
I think I'm doing only ONE race after this - on New Year's Eve Day - until the 2006 races begin (bright and LATER on New Year's Day)

Too much fun. How many races are you up to for the year, about 250?? :-D Nice goin'!
No, not 250! I have run in *only* 91 so far. Not counting FUN RUNS. But I think I've done only three fun runs this year. :-)
LAST!!!! ..... bite your tongue .... I believe you were the first "pho-JOG-rapher" across the line. Awesome picture of the start, do runners always lean like that, was it windy.
There was really no wind at all, and it was a mild day, too. I was very overdressed, perhaps remembering how bitter cold this particular event was last season!
But I am in taper mode for my marathon (and MORE! I'm doing Walt Disney World's Marathon and a Half "Goofy Challenge" on January 7th and 8th) so I needed to go easy, anyway. :-)
The fast runners do tend to lean as they run. I think gravity helps pull them faster as they lean into their forward momentum.
love the conehead.
Always great pictures as usual. As photographer you are the first. Only 91 races? Shame on me I only entered 14 this year!
Remember I rarely RACE my races. I use them as training for marathons, and for social activity and fun with my running clubs. Most club races are low-key and EXTREMELY inexpensive. (Many are only $1-$2 or LESS)
Hi! jeanne,
A Happy New Year!
It was fun! Tami, the RD, brings all her excess race t-shirts and goodies from the whole year, and lets people select things as race awards and randoms.
(And I think I have done FOUR fun runs for 2005, by the way!)
