It's fantastic, and makes me so much more relaxed! I love your attitude. I am intimidated by the competition that will be out there, so this report reminds me to run my own race, take whatever happens in stride, and most of all have fun. Still, I think I'll save the beer for after the finish, not the final miles!

I shared you blog with bunch of my friends in our local running community. <br /><br />If there any way I can bug you for a picture you took of me? It is by far the best race pictures of me I've seen so far; just happened you got it so perfect. It's the one with the title (Hopping a creek on the way to the American River). I would really appreciated and my mom probably too.<br /><br />Cheers, <br /><br />DaliusDaliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107642758114725504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-44296861361361394282012-03-15T06:58:39.152-07:002012-03-15T06:58:39.152-07:00Pete, those are fantastic pics!
