Thoughts/Comments:  It was cold and rainy and I was super stiff.  My shins were hurting and I was just glad to get that first run done!  Weird thing was that they didn't have any kind of finish line. I didn't even care, It was just pouring.  Everyone just kinda stopped, and oh, we must be done, there's people with some bagels.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.  I'm going to get showered and dressed, get the girls ready, head to church, and then get ready to cash in on getting whatever I want for the remainder of the day.  HAHAHA yeah right, wish it worked that way.

p.s. The Y-Me organization announced today that they are "re-branding".  They have a new name, which is long and hard to remember.  Hmm.

I'm re-branding too.  I"m on Day 3 of no diet pepsi.  I feel lke I"ve lost a friend.  No more random trips to Walgreens "Oh, I need to pick up.... when really all I want is a cold 20 ounce."    Sigh.

Hey

Congrats for completing the race considering the circumstances!

No Diet Pepsi????

Man I feel your pain!!!! But you can do it.

Thanks for the comment... My posts have been very short. We are winding down at school and by the end of the day I'm shot!

Yes my exercise is going well but.... my weight is going up! PMS is here and TOM is on the way so I'm hoping to see some type of loss soon! Or I may have to eat an entire CAKE!!!!!

Have a great day buddy!

Tracy

Yeah

Muy first run after Napa was, well, not pretty. I feel your pain. Great job on raising money for a good cause, runnign a great race (11:17 Speedy Gonzales!) and getting the Diet Pepsi monkey off your back!  Someone posted the picture of the Flying Pig t-shirt and medal SOOO cute!  

A cold 20 oz

Thats funny. It reminds me of my brother and his 40oz...only his is in the form of Budweiser. LOL You'd think it would get warm by the time you finished. But yea, good job on going 3 days. Me? I'm off to Walgreens! LOL Diet Coke is my good friend.

Well, at least you only had to run 3.1 in all that wind and rain! Sounds miserable! OH, and thanks for the comment about my 5K, Shadow Talma! LOL It's funny, because it doesn't really seem like I run very fast. I've always been a fast walker, so I chalk it up to that. I might have a faster pace, but you got the distance!!!! Look at your mileage! And here I was all proud of myself for logging 7 miles last week!! LOL My goal for May is to beat my 20 miles in April! LOL And here you ran 29 miles last WEEK!
