That is so sad and really scary! <br /><br />I'm glad you shared the 3 things you learned in that article. Considering my next race is on Sunday and in Vegas at night, the chances of me wanting caffeine before are VERY high. Now I'll be sure to find something else, and I promise that something else won't be rum. I'll save that for the finish line!Fruit Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747205899650070873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-71787362640373590292011-11-25T03:15:24.360-08:002011-11-25T03:15:24.360-08:00It is terrible to know about the 2 runners died.

It's hard to listen to our body when we are near the arrival but we have to do it and in case we must take a break or walk.<br />Great pictures of the young champs.Black Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283409222072090440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-80591372510211409472011-11-22T15:42:58.530-08:002011-11-22T15:42:58.530-08:00The 40 year old that died lives in my area - it is...The 40 year old that died lives in my area - it is so sad!

Mmmmmm......turkey ;). (not familiar with Quebec tradition, but in Ontario & BC, we DO have a big turkey dinner)<br /><br />Funny story, my first Thanksgiving in the US, I had no idea what Black Friday was...never heard of it & stopped into Walmart with my Mum to pick something up. We both just stood there with our mouths hanging open as we witnessed the spectacle of carts lined up from one end of the store to another .... I'm sure they thought WE were weird! We turned around and left and I've never been dumb enough to enter a store on that day ever again! I'm with you, online shopping when I can! <br /><br />Good luck with your next race!The Unexpected Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467755895086463711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-58920898625115995812011-11-21T16:17:33.002-08:002011-11-21T16:17:33.002-08:00I really dislike Black Friday shopping as well.

I think it would make me too stressed and antagonistic. I'll spend a little more money and hopefully keep my Christmas spirit, thank you very much!<br /><br />I saw the story about the two runners. Very sad. And definitely scary. I guess my thinking is, if it's my time, it's my time, but that's maybe not the right way to look at it. That caffiene recommendation...oh, man, I drink so much more than that on race mornings!<br /><br />Congratulations on your blog getting picked! How very cool! And your pages look FANTASTIC. :)Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.com
