You're totally right of course. In the Anthem 5k the
walkers were 6-7 abreast and I was trying for a PR and
missed it due to them. Slower folks should be out of
the way for faster (and I always am). Also, there
should be a way to tell which way to go no matter what
speed you are and food and water available as well. I
guess I just jumped on the one comment as I work
really hard to get there and people seem to think just
because I'm slower I'm not working as hard.
Otherwise, the points made were dead on correct.
Thanks for the reminder to pay attention to the entire
message. Meg
