      Scotty, I decided to develop "Scotty adjusted timing" for your race reports.  I take 10 seconds off your time for every awesome picture you put into a race report.  I figure you ran about a 23 minute 5K.  Big grin

       

      Congrats on another awesome race and report!

        23 minutes...yer funny...Big grin...they'd have to scrape me off the road if I tried to run that pace.

         

        Liz:  my all time high was 73 races done last year.  However, if I am able to do all the races I registered for through the end of this year, I will finish this year with 75 races done.

          Looks like another great race, and cute awards!  Congrats on the AG award, but too bad you missed the win there!  I wonder if you pushed that guy to a new PR?

              Wonderful!

               

              I have been reading your RRs for a year now.  Today was the first time this thought occurred to me:  For your sake, it's a good thing it is a digital age.  Can you imagine how much money you must be saving by not having to process film?!

                        Great race! Congratulations on 2nd place AG and to your friend on being 1st in his AG! I loved seeing the Chritsmas atmosphere, even though you're definitely lacking the snow element :-), I feel like installing the white lights on our trees outside, after looking at your pictures. :-) The sky was very gray, but the temps were good for running. I'm glad you had another great race day, Scotty!
