Race Photo

Race photogs usually miss me--maybe because I put my number on my hip a lot? Anyway, I tried to be seen at the official photo thing near the finish of the ING Half, and it worked. And boy, it's not good! I look slightly crazy. Also, I look a little like Amelia Earhart. It's so bad, I only showed it to Sweet LJ and he agreed that I looked like a slightly crazy Amelia Earhart. I wish they'd take your picture at the beginning of the race but maybe they want to weed out the DNFs. On second thought, why would the photo company care whether you DNF?

Peachtree Anxiety

Again this year I forgot about the Peachtree Road Race application. I remembered 3 days after it was published (4 days if you count the Saturday early edition of the Sunday AJC). I sent in my app on March 20, I think. My check hasn't been cashed, but I haven't gotten it back in the mail, either. Cross your fingers.

Last July 4 was a good time, even without the race. Sweet LJ and I rode bikes and picked blackberries along the bike trail--enough for a cobbler. woot! foraging is fun! But the race is like being in a parade. And that's good fun.
