Icky Picture

I am not sure I want to post this. But, I did promise it. So here it is. please excuse my fat belly hanging out. Unfortunately there are no other pictures of me from the race. About 10 of my super cute sister-in-law though! Next year, I plan to have 20 of me! Off to do some sit-ups.

I am married to the BBQ Master!

The Eagles

I am a HUGE Eagles fan! They are in my soul. My daughter was even born during an Eagles song. So Pastor Bruce decided to lock in my Church attendance this summer by planning a sermon series using their music as a theme. All I have to say is this...I almost turned into Concert Gina when Curtis sang Take It Easy today. Jon had to hold me in my chair. It's going to be a great summer!!

Done!

First, let me apologize for my language. I have already said my forgiveness prayers, but the forgiveness of my friends is important as well. The words of the day are Crap! CRAP! and CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!!! I might have snuck a SH**T in there as well but only once (maybe twice she says with shame!) I will make it short and sweet.

1. I finished 4 minutes faster than last year YAY! That was only 3 minutes behind my ultra athletic sister-in-law so that made me feel good!
2. I didn't walk the hill. OK...I didn't walk the first hill. The second one I crapped out 3/4 of the way up, and the 3rd one was almost a success. I am ashamed that I walked a little bit but at least I power walked it. My back was just hurting to much to continue running.
3. I stink so I am going to shower. Enjoy the pics. I hope to get some professional ones next week.

Stats:
#51 for age group (out of 191)
#843 overall (corrected)
Time 1:18:38

Oh yeah, the biggest CRAP came when I landed really hard coming off one of the walls. My knees are very angry with me!

After the race with my sister-in-law and her friends








That's not a tan line, my legs were really that dirty!!!

Got Mud?

I am leaving for the Mud Run. I am not physically or mentally ready. I have 2 goals:
1. Do at least as well as I did last year
2. Not walk up the hill at any point
I will report when I get back late tomorrow. Think of me at 6:30am!!! :0)

HELP!!

I am stuck at my grandmas' friends house listening to four 80 year old women talk. Mostly in Italian. Please, somebody post a blog, e-mail me, send me a drink, something to make this day go faster!

For the ladies...

...this is the look I think we should go for at Journey!
