more running, of course

This weekend, I ran the Girls on the Run 5k fun run - no pics there, but a good fundraiser for the organization.  Just a reminder that you can still donate through me, too!  http://sallysuglyracepics.blogspot.com/2011/05/really-just-donate-buck.html

Then, today was the real start for marathon training, which meant trying to drag out of bed between 4-4:30 so that I could get in some miles before the training group started (their target marathon is later than mine, so I have to adjust the schedule).  And then, it was naptime.  And so it begins...

So, while I take a deep breath and jump back in, here are some pics from last weekend's Lavender 10k...

Beach to Bay Marathon Relay

Okay, I'm sorry.  I must confess, I don't think this pic is that bad.  In my defense, it was at the beginning of my run, and I hadn't gotten my ugly race pic on.  I swear I looked MUCH uglier at the end of my leg and in the ensuing mile or so.

But I TRIED to take an ugly race pic. First, I forgot my practically bullet-proof running bra and was running in a regular stretchy bra (ouch). Then, I was up until midnight, waiting for my 5th leg runner (the one who went to the wrong exchange point).  Then, I was searching the parking lot for Gary at 5:50 a.m., who drove in at 4 a.m. and slept in his truck.  Then, I was 'sirened' by a cop for going too SLOWLY over the bridge (behind other cars) to drop Alexis off.  Then, I unapologetically used the McDonald's bathroom without buying anything.  Then, I waited. And, at this point, I didn't know that, 5 miles away, I had nobody to whom to hand off.  So, really, it's a fantasy pic, as I thought that my tatas can make it through the run and, in 5 miles, I was done.  No such luck.

Test 1-2-3 test?

Well, I'm trying this out, instead of the multiple (possibly unwanted) emails to friends and family. I guess we'll just see how it goes!
