The ...Well I was going to bite my tongue, but ... <BR/><BR/>The chili was almost welcome last year when the day was colder, but I wasn't in the mood for it this year. Besides, I didn't think the guy made very good chilli. And since I do make good chili, I didn't bother. I would have liked a chocolate milk though, but I run slow & it was all gone before I hit the finish line. I did get 3 bananas ... & there were bagels but I try not to choke down bagels after my races any more. <BR/><BR/>It is a good run though ... I've done it twice (the half both years) and I'd do it again. But there is something in the air that irritates my throat. Probably from the pulp mill across the river.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117763907544816717.post-27195992980506371732008-10-15T13:10:00.000-04:002008-10-15T13:10:00.000-04:00Ha ha, loved the part about the okay, just stand n...Ha ha, loved the part about the okay, just stand near the pigpen, that's the start line!
