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!
