Not that this wasn't a stellar performance - contraire - you did AWESOME! Poop issues and eye rolling and you still ran a great race! I love your XC season, it reminds me of coaching my kiddos and I think of you out there often when I look at a course. I think I will move in your spare bedroom next summer and run with you, ok? Well, not "with" you....do they have an old-fart division for slowpokes? That's where I'll be.<br /><br />Hope "life" is better this week!!!<br /><br />((hugs))Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493043793119389782.post-63792028684096640912011-10-17T16:24:08.505-07:002011-10-17T16:24:08.505-07:00Love those "turn around" races.

I always laugh when I read articles that say, "Oh, women aren't competitive, they are nurturing and just want everyone to do well", blah, blah, blah. Baloney! Women ARE competitive-sometimes they are worse than the men! Throwing their boney little elbows around, pushing, shoving - a girl can get trampled in the start stampede! But lucky for you, you are one of the fast girls (probably doing the trampling -hee,hee, hee!). You are only going to be faster and stronger after this. :-) BTW - I battle those poop cramps, too. Liking the skirt, too! :-)HappyTrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651141743444721517noreply@blogger.com
