What a bummer! I hope your breathing continues to improve. I am always the annoying loud breather because I have nasty allergies that lead me to breathe like a pack a day smoker, but there isn't much to do about it since no meds seem to help.<br />Way to survive alone in the car with the dog, if you're not a dog lover that is a big deal.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12942477087576739697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-8315809501991807062012-01-30T16:01:27.188-05:002012-01-30T16:01:27.188-05:00Wow!

I'll admit that I get frustrated with dogs during a race, but that's only when they are out of control or on too long a leash. Kara needs to start punching asshats in the back of the head. Especially that guy. Sounds like it hurt his feelings to be passed by women.<br /><br />So, has the race commented on the course issue?

Someone saw them and knew to contact the race directors, who scurried out pre-dawn to put everything back where it belonged... as best they could. The 5 mile race was spot on according to my GPS. Everyone crossing the same finish after the half complained the course was long. <br /><br />Not saying that's what happened here, but if a course is certified someone measured it at some point.<br /><br />Who has a party without food?!?Jan[et] Ciceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11243972265375134188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-81810844215119200342012-01-29T15:32:25.220-05:002012-01-29T15:32:25.220-05:00I saw this on daily mile and it kinda made me laug...I saw this on daily mile and it kinda made me laugh (sorry!) Who mis-measures a half by more than a mile?!<br /><br />Wow, people bring dogs to races all the time out here! In fact, it happens so often that each race specifically states whether they are allowed or not.
