Best of 2007: Race Event

This is my personal opinion and only based on the events that I attended.  What do you think was the best overall event you attended in 2007?

This is another tough category.  Again in no particular order.

1. 500 Festival Mini Marathon - while I'm not a big fan of this event since I've never raced well and don't like 35,000 fellow runners, they put on an excellent event.
2. Drumstick Dash - this was a fun and festive event with lots of activities for every age and competitive stripe. I enjoyed this event.
3. PopWeaver 5K - this is always a fun event with the Popcorn Festival and a year's supply of popcorn. There is also always good competition and lots of high schoolers.

Honorable Mentions

1. DINO Races - These are fun no matter what, but more fun if you do a bunch of them, win a pair of shoes, or just like to get muddy!
2. Run the Mounds - This is a tough 5 miler with good post-race food and lots of running friends.

Yesterday's Workout

I hit the gym for an easy 30 minutes on the Elliptical machine and then 5 minutes on the stair climber.  It was fairly enjoyable for a gym workout! After 15 minutes on the elliptical, the machine flashed  and said pedal backwards!  I tried it for 5 minutes, that is a weird feeling to "run" backwards.  It definitely works a new set of muscles, I might try it more often.
