As promised, here are a few photos from the race
 |
| Painted nails . . . of course! I didn't have any yellow polish so I thought I would put on all my bright colors - kind of fun. The kids ("L's" grand kiddos and Jenn's daughter) seemed to really like it. You can also see just above my watch that I wrote a quote and you can barely see that on my forearm I had written the 2:15 pacing (yeah, we crushed that by more than 2 minutes!) |
 |
| We look ready to go don't we! |
 |
| Home stretch baby! |
 |
| Ahhh, the blue timing mats . . .there's no place like |
 |
| This is "K" - she was in the Spring Into Training group and SHE.WON.HER.AGE.GROUP!!!!! How amazing! Poor thing- her family had just left prior to her getting her award!!!! WAY TO GO "K"!!!! |
 |
| You know "C" and I, but the awesome chica on the right is Jenn from our Half Marathon Class - she writes Running4MyLife and will be joining us for RnR St. Louis in October!!! You should check out her blog - she's A-MAZ-ING!!! She has lost over 100 pounds and only started running in January - yeah, she's a gazelle and did the 10 Miler more than 45 minutes faster than "C" and I! |
 |
| This cracks me up - we were screwing around during the "serious" photo taking - ha! |
 |
| Okay so this is what the photo should look like had we been not been screwing around. |
 |
| Not sure why "C" was busy eating a banana and not posing with the group in this one, but . . . you probably recognize our other training partner "L" and her 3 grand kiddos and her husband who were at mile 8 and the finish line to cheer for us!!! So cute!!! "L's" granddaughter gave me a "flower" (dandelion) at mile 8 and I put it in my bondiband (which said "No One Ever Drowned In Sweat!" - such a good message for a hot and humid race day!) and carried it to the finish with me :) All 3 grand kiddos gave me a hug and high 5 at mile 8 - good thing they are too young to know how disgusting all that sweat on my shirt was :) ha! |
 |
| Post race photo with "M" - my running mentor who was also the race director. Exceptionally well done race. Great job to "M" and all the volunteers - a fantastic event!!!!! |
LOVE the photos! And I am still jealous at how awesome your nails were! :) I am jealous you have before pictures, I was so frazzled that I didn't even think about it! Love that last picture of you and "C" - captures your fun personalities so well! :)
