I have not worked out as diligently as I should have and I see people all around who are out running by themselves, in a pair.. Today I will be going to visit one of my team mates (Christine) to work on a communal post on the chronicle blog to solicit support, not for 'us' , but for setting this activity of support up for veterans with ptsd. That plus my two grantwriting classes are taking up a lot of my time..hopefully we'll be able to at least walk around her neighbourhood or so..<BR/>thanks for your support 'ya'll'. I'll bring my digital camera with me for the race plus apparently, someone from the Austin American Statesman is going to show up and do a story on us Saturday morning, the day of the race.Ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543677729320023767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22346965.post-6867164586495889482007-12-04T00:48:00.000-06:002007-12-04T00:48:00.000-06:00so proud of you....and yes indeedy you have my vot...so proud of you....and yes indeedy you have my vote...way to go....enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22346965.post-14821000693221629552007-12-04T00:04:00.000-06:002007-12-04T00:04:00.000-06:00"If anyone else strikes you as vote-worthy, by all...<B><I>"If anyone else strikes you as vote-worthy, by all means."</I></B><BR/>Blasphemy!

As for the 'cause'..there is no good cause attached to this particular race. This town is crazy about races so any 'excuse' will do. The Trail of Lights is a trail with all kinds of lit up displays relating to Christmas. I'll be happy if I can run part of it, which is more than I have ever done so.. easy does it although the terrain is a bit hilly at areas so I'll definitely try to walk those parts and run down hill so to speak! lol<BR/>Ingrid<BR/>(btw..were you not able to sign into blogger?

If you run too fast in the first minutes, you won't have enough energy for the rest of the race. Try running more slowly than you feel at the beginning, and then, after 3-4 minutes, you can pick up more speed. Using this simple tactic, I believe that you'll be able to score beter.<BR/>Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
