\"\" 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?<\/p>\n

This is another tough category. Again in no particular order.<\/p>\n

    \n
  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.<\/li>\n
  2. Drumstick Dash<\/a> – this was a fun and festive event with lots of activities for every age and competitive stripe. I enjoyed this event.<\/li>\n
  3. PopWeaver 5K<\/a> – 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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Honorable Mentions<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. DINO Races<\/a> – 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!<\/li>\n
    2. Run the Mounds – This is a tough 5 miler with good post-race food and lots of running friends.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Yesterday’s Workout<\/strong><\/p>\n

      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.<\/p>\n
