I've always heard Flying Pig was a really, really tough course and to have all that rain to boot... you are a champ for pushing through, especially when you wanted to give up. Runs/races like this are what teach us just how much determination and resolve we have, and you my friend are stronger then you realized.

It was a sample of "green" cleaner from Shaklee!!!!!! Lol!! Weird that they'd serve something that's not readily available.

The funny part of being a "green" race is that at the start I had drop my gu chomp trash on the ground because I couldn't find a trash can close enough around the start line while in the start area! A few people I ran with said the Shaklee was horrible and powdered gritty tasting.

Which is just disappointing. :-/ Despite all the cons, I do have to say that at least y'all had a BEAUTIFUL day to run!<br /><br />That said, I'm glad you still had a great day and I was so glad we were able to cheer you on when you went by.

People have to eat on the run no matter what. I've heard of Shaklee, but never the energy drink. I knew they sold vitamins and other stuff. It's like some multi-level marketing biz. And I'm waiting for the day for them to call men's shirts men's shirts instead of pretending they are unisex.:)Yo Momma Runshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303930412601863052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072168915949196223.post-90486727815203097952013-04-21T19:36:44.663-05:002013-04-21T19:36:44.663-05:00I signed up for the first Lansing 1/2 and couldn&#...I signed up for the first Lansing 1/2 and couldn't run it. I tried to get in contact with the support staff and never got ahold of anyone. For that reason, I haven't signed up for an event yet, and I'm glad I haven't. Your con list is all things that would've gotten under my skin. I can't believe about the train! I would be one pissed runner, too. <br /><br />Anywho - great job on your race.
