    At Least Murphy Isn’t Going To Visit Sunday.

    The Boxing Day Race

    This mornings blog said I would post some pictures from the Around the Bay expo being held today on the first day of race packet pick ups. 

    I’m going to post a few.  Tomorrow I’ll be heading back to get pictures.  Seems I feel victim to Murphy’s Law.  I made it to the Road2Hope booth.  And had an amazing time talking to other runners! I hope I got a chance to talk to you!  I even convinced a couple people to register early for the race.  But when it came time for me to take pictures of the expo, Murphy stepped in to offer his two cents worth. 

    The batteries on the camera died.  So, I’ll head back again tomorrow to get even better pictures than today!  And will post more then.  In the meantime, enjoy these ones.  This would be me in my “artsy” creative phase.

    This is the Boxing Day Race booth.  I didn’t get the name of the helpful gentleman who tried to convince me it would be a good idea to do the run next Boxing Day.  I just might do it.  Even the hill at the end.

    Matt Reid is the owner of the Waterdown Runners Den location.  He is also the man who runs the Fighting Koalas Triathalon Team.  I’m going to visit Matt at his store’s location on Thursday.  He says it will be moving to  a new location on Wednesday.  I can’t wait to see it.

    This is Dan.  He managers the Westdale Runners Den.  He is hard to catch in one place.  He’s like his Mom.  A whirlwind.  But like his Mom he is just as passionate about running.

    Stay tuned for more pictures.  I love that I am able to journal some of the sights at this year’s Around the Bay.

    A runner for almost two years, Terry recently had the mildly traumatic experience of trying to find a flattering pair of running pants (“Isn’t running about pushing personal boundaries and just getting out there and moving? Except when you don’t look in the least bit like Paula Radcliffe.”). But although she may have been a bit embarrassed by “helpful handsome guy” at the store, she keeps a great perspective through her running experiences. Pushing through a number of injuries early in her running career, she got right back to training for her next race. “The feeling of elation when I crossed the finish line is unimaginable,” says Terry. Sounds like she’s hooked for good!
