When I posted pictures from the race on Facebook later that day, including one of the Sears Tower, my friend who I ran with had the same kind of memory lapse - she had no idea we ran by it! I mean it's only a 1,400 foot tall building, easy to miss ;)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-75065840233836649952016-03-23T08:56:54.035-05:002016-03-23T08:56:54.035-05:00That's funny that you didn't remember goin...That's funny that you didn't remember going by that building! I am always amazed at people that carry around stuff or race in costume. I remember a Halloween race where someone was dressed as a werewolf and had a full head mask on, plus running in jeans and workboots. I don't know how he did it.

That's funny about the Lincoln Memorial...like, how could you miss it? But I totally get it.<br /><br />There are always quite a few flag runners at the races here in Texas (must be the strong military presence?). I'm amazed they can run with the flag; sometimes I can barely hold my water bottle by the end of a race!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-26689586075498254232016-03-23T07:34:12.862-05:002016-03-23T07:34:12.862-05:00It's funny how you bond with a stranger for so...It's funny how you bond with a stranger for so many miles during a race and then rarely see them again (although in our small town, I have run into those strangers at other races) - I really was happy to see those pictures with flag guy.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-60429519290754714782016-03-23T07:32:44.095-05:002016-03-23T07:32:44.095-05:00Yay Susan!!

I knitted my socks with online patterns and the You Tube videos that I linked in the sock post, mostly, but I already owned Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's Knitting Rules! book which has a great chapter on sock knitting (albeit from the cuff-down), and that helped me to understand sock knitting in general (plus have a relaxed attitude about it, thanks to Steph's demeanor). I hope you enjoy your first pair of socks!!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-29589084861190286132016-03-23T07:22:36.914-05:002016-03-23T07:22:36.914-05:00The photographer got some great shots!

It was a blur lol.<br /><br />I love that last photo with you in focus and the flag guy behind. Have to say, I admire him for carrying a flag, I would think his shoulder would be really tired at the end of the race.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308631304554235792noreply@blogger.com
