I have been unexpectedly delayed

I have a ton of new ideas to write about, but our computer is on the fritz. Once we get this all worked out, don't be surprised if I just unload the mind bomb an ya...

Coloardo College race results

Once again, I am totally pumped about my latest race results. I normally don't like writing about my results, but lately this has been a huge spirit lifter for me. Please forgive me if I sound like I'm bragging, because there are a lot of people faster than me. These are big accomplishments for me.

My latest race was Saturday morning 10/11, it was called the CC Tiger Classic 5K. I ran my fastest race to date, completing it in 25:14. That means I ran a 8:08 minute mile. That is pretty dang fast compared to my normal 9:30 minute mile. I finished 11 of 16 in my age group, and 53 of 154 total. To say the least, I was glowing all weekend...

Road Kill

OK, so I have always wondered who cleans up the animals that have been tragically annihilated by oncoming traffic. Yesterday I finally saw a truck cleaning up a deer left on the side of a road. Just in case you were wondering as well, the DOT has a flatbed truck they use to toss the animals into. But instead of answering a question, it instead leaves my perplexed. What do they do with the remains? Do they just toss it somewhere and let it rot? Does it just go to our landfill (I wouldn't want to end up there)? Or do they clean it out and use it for something? In fact I'm not all that certain I want to know, come to think of it...

Race results

I ran a 10K (6.2 miles), The Great Pumpkin Race, on Saturday morning 9/27. I have been anxiously waiting for them to post my results and I finally saw them. I feel like jumping up and down. I ran extremely well compared to my last race performances. I ran it in 55:26. Out of 153 racers I finished 66th. In my age group I finished third (of course there were only three racers in my age group, but I don't care~ I'll take third any day!!!!). I am really, really happy with this posting! I'm not a fast runner, but I hang in there. Check out the link...
