PS If times don't matter, why do we call them races, why do we have clocks and trophies?
Good Point, and I find a great camradrie with a large group of people
all running together in such a large group. It doesn't matter if I am
racing, or I because I just want to participate, regardless of my time.
I believe having sustained injuries, has made me realize that the act
of running far outweighs, the racing aspect. Look when you are injured,
it damn near kills you, that you cannot run period.
I personally have 2 favorite races that I want to run/race, Senior Bowl/Azalea Trail. I think it is great, to have such a big group.
Hey Victor, I also appreciate trying to be the best you can be.
Remember not all races have clocks, how bout McGuire's.
Another thought, if it wasn't for penguins, would there still
be so many races?
