I got the kind of "you'll just be in our way and annoying" vibe, so I swore off strollers for real races, only doing the fundraisers with it. Now I'm bummed. again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837866738311150823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611636543343595600.post-4209282368722345152011-11-27T08:08:59.270-08:002011-11-27T08:08:59.270-08:00Mandy!

Your photos are awesome too - your blog is SO one of my favorites, and not just because I know you, either - I love your style and what you write!<br /><br />I didn't have many problems with walkers on Thursday, but I was moving a little slower than you. I did, however, experience a similar thing at the Rotary 5K - it was literally hard for us to find a way past the rows of walkers! I started yelling 'ON YOUR LEFT' and people made comments about that being rude. I agree with you, start at the back and you will have more fun too and not feel like people (runners!) are pushing YOU around! I've done my fair share of walking and I am ALWAYS considerate of people moving faster than me. More people need to pay attention, agreed. On a course like that, there is plenty of time and space to walk as slow as you would like and still finish with all the frills!!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382569552132982982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611636543343595600.post-16255689732629664182011-11-27T07:01:23.748-08:002011-11-27T07:01:23.748-08:00what a cute little turkey!!

But, that said, that race is usually the exception - I think we run into that at all races but that one has a ton of families just enjoying the time together, you know what I mean? I give it an exception for that.<br /><br />Great race! I have done it the last 2 years and was sad to miss it this year but I'm not sorry about where I was this year. :)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05685998726719731301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611636543343595600.post-87100230131015068562011-11-25T10:15:13.625-08:002011-11-25T10:15:13.625-08:00Amen, Mandy!
