I'm a member of an Internet but locally begun Run Club called the 50+ Club. Our yearly aim is to run at least 50 or more (50 PLUS) races per calendar year. So I run MANY races, although I do not as often RACE them. For me, actual RACING is rare, and reserved for special events (whether for a certain award I think I stand a chance at winning, or because it's a race where I want to set a personal record, etc.) But I did actually run in 80 races in 2006, 92 in 2005, 102 in 2004. I've been cutting back, because I wanted to keep it fun, and I was getting burned out, even though I was NOT racing most of these events. The Photo-fartlekking way I run is truly NOT an efficient, nor an easy-on-the-body way to participate in events! And I DO volunteer as well, so I often post shots of races where I have not run at all.
Thank you, Ginger Breadman, Anne, and Brooklyn! WELCOME home, Sherry!!! I hope everything is ok with you! I'm glad to see you "back"! You're one of a kind, IHATETOAST. You are a terrific person!
* 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!
