Anyone who can give me the source of that title wins a double, internet high-five from yours truly.

Big ol' PR from last year's race. My fastest Half Marathon of all (by a little bit).
I'll take it!! Happily, even.
It was such an awesome experience for special reasons I can't wait to share with you. I'll recap the whole thing, this week.
("YYYEEESSS!!" you're all thinking)
This accurately sums up the general mood of the entire race weekend, though.
hard-earned Cheers
Yay! Cheers to you!
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteAwesome! Great race :) Can't wait for the recap.
ReplyDeletethank you...but be careful what you wish for ;)
DeleteSPEEDY! woohoo! congrats, pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteit felt that way to me, too! Thanks. :)
DeleteLooks like fun and congrats!!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to sum it up in one word "fun" would be it.
DeleteThank you.
Our matching outfits look better than I expected. Or maybe it's just that looking at our clothes takes the focus off our sweaty faces, goosebumped arms, and disgusting hair.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing re: the outfits. We should do that every time we run together!
DeleteOh! And I'm pretty sure your title phrase came from that Judy Blume book with the pet turtle... I think it was "Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing" but it could have been "Frecklejuice"
ReplyDeleteding ding ding! I.O.U. one high-five
DeleteCute matching outfits! I wish I had a running group/friends like that! Good for you on your PR!! You're one speedy lady my friend:-)
ReplyDeletethank you! We are very lucky, indeed, to have each other.
DeleteNice work on the PR lady! Ah-may-zing work!!
ReplyDeleteahhh. It's a relief! I was beginning to think I'd settled into "old, pr-less ladyhood"
DeleteLovely pic! It seems you had a blast.I am looking forward to know more of the event.
ReplyDeleteTribulus Terrestris
Woohoo! It looks like those medals are so heavy that they might make you tip over. Did your half feel easier now that you've been training for longer distances?
ReplyDeletethey had more delicate medals but they took one look at us and gave us the serious hardware.
Delete(jk...everyone got the same ones)
It definitely did. I was hoping that would be the case and was so happy to have that "only 10 more miles!" mentality.
