Her comment will bring a smile to my face for months to come.<br /><br />Sara, so glad you came out to another race. You sure picked a hot one! You did great. I hope you don't wait too long to do another one. Maybe I'll see you at Overlook next month?<br /><br />Meg, "Hikers" is a good one! I haven't had the "pleasure" of hearing that one yet. Yes, I've learned to laugh at all the up tight runners. Life's to short to get stressed over the silly stuff.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794019045620435180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212427032459949009.post-37020223077847933662009-08-23T23:11:30.321-04:002009-08-23T23:11:30.321-04:00Beautiful pictures, looks like a nice run!

I cracked up about the slow runners which reminds me that on our up hill rock run last week, two mountain bikers came racing down a hill and one of them yelled, "Hikers on the left!" Hikers?? It was OBVIOUS we were running. My friend looked at me and said, "down girl!" I'm so happy you and Pixie laughed!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129091073767399081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212427032459949009.post-43590913617674180332009-08-23T22:47:02.563-04:002009-08-23T22:47:02.563-04:00Dan,
Nice to see you and Emily today!!
You did...Dan,<br /><br />Nice to see you and Emily today!! <br /><br />You did a great job! I pulled up the rear but did manage to finish! <br /><br />I will admit it was a little disheartening when the RD stated "Finishers to the left and those with one more lap to go to the right" when I still had TWO more laps to go!! Argh!! <br /><br />I also agree with you about the "slow runner" comments! When people passed me (which was pretty much everyone) I always tried to say "great job, looking good, or whatever). At least 75% of the runners just ignored my comments and blew passed me!!! I definitely think there were a lot of road runners as the trail runs I have been too (ok-only have 2 races to go on so small sample size) seemed to have much friendlier competitors!!<br /><br />Oh, there's also nothing like getting lapped by the entire field multiple times!! In fact, by the time I made it to the finish, the food was gone and half the runners were out of there!! LOL However, I did manage to win a raffle prize!! *smile*<br /><br />But, you have to start somewhere so I am just happy I finished. This was the longest run I have ever done in my life!! :-0 :-0<br /><br />Good luck in your 50k and have fun!!!!<br /><br />SaraSaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212427032459949009.post-19951099648255098202009-08-23T22:38:27.132-04:002009-08-23T22:38:27.132-04:00Hey Dan...I guess this really means that "I&#...Hey Dan...I guess this really means that "I'm a slow runner." That WAS super funny, I laughed about it through the next loop (and now). IT's funny especially because no one was worse for the wear...and I joyfully remembered your post with the title: "I'm a slow Runner" or something like that! When I ran 7 Sisters a bunch of years ago, I passed a woman on the final downhill (with my controlled falling technique) and she said, "Hey, that's not fair!" I'll file that with today's memorable quote. We will surely get a LOT of mileage out of that next weekend...and beyond. teehhee. It was nice to meet Roz and see Sara, too!Trail Pixie Trespashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731210682109959903noreply@blogger.com
