It seems like most of my posts this year involve catching up and falling behind. Every year, I tell myself that I am going to say "no" more often, yet, somehow, I take on more duties. Maybe, next year, I'll say "no" more often, now that I'm yet another year wiser.
So, here it goes. On June 21, 2014, I ran the Carrabbas Half Marathon Relay. As always, it was hot and humid. Guess who didn't say no to filling in for the announcer/MC, who canceled?
I took a break from announcing to run the 3rd leg and take some ugly race pics.
LEANING in?
Afterward, I switched to ugly race announcer pics. Don't worry, I won't change the blog name (since I will be saying "no," right?).
Yep, not a good look.
The following weekend, I ran the Midsummer Night's Dream Women's 5k. It was a night run on the Brackenridge Golf Course.
Luckily, it was dark, so there were no ugly running pics. But I made up for that the next day at the SARR Annual picnic and fun run.
and
pimping marketing the Women's 5k - without putting down my dos equis.
And the SARR Scholarship committee (again, not saying "no") - we awarded 8 x $1,000 scholarships at the picnic.
So, that brings us to today - my favorite day of the year - my birthday! Luckily, SARR produced a race in my honor - but they called it the Freedom 4 miler a/k/a Sally's birthday run. I may have added that last part.
I was in fine crazy running chicken form.
Birthday Bok Bok.
And re-hydrating after the race (yep, it was hot and humid - it IS San Antonio).
And I'm all caught up - for now. Next up, SARR Monthly Fun Run tomorrow, Free-da's 5k on Sunday, and the final day of my 120-work detail on Monday (which I have been looking forward to for about 119 days). And the Women's 5k is only two weeks away - eek!
Thanks to Ceci, Victor, Gerry, Celia, LauraC, Tom Lake, SARR, ScottyDog, Lana, and Tony for the pics.
