Why are race photos always so wretched? If anyone can click the shutter during the microsecond both my feet are off the ground I'd give them 100 bucks. They seem to be able to catch the instant my foot hits the ground at maximum impact and all that loose 44 yr old skin goes south, looking like I am already starting to decompose, while miraculously I am actually still alive.
Now, must go practice.......Stop! in the Name of Love {Doing little bouncy steps in time with the beat, here are the motions: put right arm straight out with palm flat on Stop!. then cross right arm over heart on Name, left hand crossed over chest on Love, then on "Before you Break my Heart," fling both arms out and down, palms down, bringing right arm up and shaking finger in schoolmarmish way on "Think it O-o-ver."} grins, A
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

...dg//.......thanks, you're the only poster on 2 sites that caught that, I'm doing these around my house (which is wood floors, and rugs),,,,,,,hopefully the impact will be less, I don't need to get hurt again,,,,,,,and I DO need the extra intensity right now,,,,, .......ps.......some VERY impressive mileage on your part, just don't force it, ok?? that said, nice job.
