Do you walk when you run..?

A quick question. It is asked all the time for various validation purposes. If you walk during a running race does the distance still count?

City 2 Casino 11k (7k)

It was all going well until it wasn't. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it all falls in a heap. And sometimes it gets all muddled up. Which is what happened for my last race.

Run the Bridge – 14 Feb

I'm still getting into the hang of writing again after such a long break so this will be a short sweet post. The one I started earlier is full of words and just a bit much right now.

welcome to the world of crazy chick running

I love running. there is a certain freedom that comes with plugging in some pumping music and hitting the road. Or the trails. Just you and the disappearing k's. What started as a way to have absolute me time has turned into something of an obsession. Even on days where physically I don't want to, I mentally … Continue reading welcome to the world of crazy chick running
