People like me...

apparently have no regard for the law.  People like me are likely to get hit by a motorbike or a lori.  We are also ignorant, and dangerous.  Well not in my opinion, but that of the Police officer who decided running through a red light on my bicycle was an extreme criminal offense.  Paired with my lack of proper ID, according to him, I should be arrested. Well it totally sucked getting a ticket, as it made me late for work, and that light, i run it every day (bc its a total waste of time to sit at).  BUT, i couldn't help but feel like the situation was somewhat comical as i was getting told these ridiculous things by the cop.  Honestly, when you look at me, I don't think threat to society and rebellious youth would come to anyones mind.  The entire encounter was so stupid.  Im not sure why I have to be asked what race i am when being given a traffic ticket, and a pointless question as i don't think they have the term hispanic over here.  On the other hand, he did ask me if i was 5'7", which i was not surprised by, bc i myself know that i appear taller than i am (a whole 2 inches taller!).  After i was handed my written proof of violating the law, i then proceeded to get the low down on what is mandatory for bike lights. Surprisingly enough, ahh well he didn't know what they were.  He did let me know that i should, "do whatever I can to get noticed."
which i had done that afternoon....

UK Cross Country Nationals 2010

I know the year has just started, but the xc nationals have to be a highlight, despite what else happens. AMAZING atmosphere there, such a good day out. A great course, so much fun cheering on the runners, and the general spirit of the event made me feel like, well i will probably want to do this now for the rest of my life lol.

  Such an amazing mix of runners as well! I seen one lil old woman after our senior womens race, and she was so small and old and covered in mud, and i can only hope that im doing this thing long enough to look so cute covered in mud! i just pulled these photos from a gallery online, but i mean, the whole album is full of other amazing photos that make you feel like, wow.... xc running is by far one of the best things the uk has to offer, lol. for me at least....
