Marathon Memories

I was so happy!

I was cleaning up files on my computer yesterday and found my marathon pics.  San Diego Rock 'N' Roll in 2008...so much has changed in the last 4 years!

I am pretty sure I have never shared these, mostly because they are AWFUL.  But, I got a kick out of looking at them and remembering how insane that whole experience was.  Seriously, I ran 26.2 miles...what was I thinking????  But, I finished and there is proof.

So have a little chuckle with me.  I actually gained weight during the training and these pics are hysterical and something I am very proud of. 

My goodness, that singlet is NOT flattering

I did finish!

They gave me a medal and then took the most awful pic ever.

Celebrate Saturday!

Happy Birthday Erin!

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Derby Day!

Who are you betting on in the Derby?  I pick my horses almost entirely by their names.  I think I'm set with I'll Have Another which I thought referred to wine.  I saw this morning that it was because the owner's wife makes awesome chocolate chip cookies and he always says "I'll have another."  Wine, cookies...both great reasons for choosing a horse, don't you think?

It's a super Saturday for celebrating, most of which I'm spending doing housework.  I have some work to do around the house that I have been procrastinating so I'm going to get moving on a lot of that. 

I am finally finishing the spruce up we started on the bathroom a year ago and am tempted to paint our living room.  It's a very basic cream right now and I want some color but it's so big that I'm scared.  We shall see, I may get brave before the end of the weekend.

Happy Saturday!

The Whooooole Chicken: Part 2

BBQ Nachos!

Last Friday night was a great night out with my school buddies.  I am so fortunate to have found people that I work with that I can also count as friends outside of work.  I think that's a rarity. 

We returned to the scene of the WHOOOOLE chicken (Holy Smokes in Mahopac), though none of us ordered it.  I still ended up ordering a meal that was enough to feed me 3 times.  But I got some great photos and had a good night out.
