Show me your running legs. (Read 1546 times)

    Dave, those are some nice running legs!  Thanks!  I liked the contrast between the two.

    Tomas, thanks.

    Happylily, aww, thanks.  I love Lululemon! I am hooked!  The skirt is so comfy.  I’ve been eyeballing it since I started running and finally bought one for myself.  I fell on Friday but it is starting to feel better.  It hasn’t stopped me from running though.

    Kristin, thanks! I never stopped running just needed more time for work and school. I won’t be as active on the boards as I used to but I want to try and check in more.  I miss you guys.

    Scotty, lol.  Thanks and I really didn’t like hurting that knee or my toes, hands, and the other knee, ha.  Love those leg pics!

    Kay, nice legs, I hope that icing helps.

          Thank you Steph. They look better from a distance. Of course they went on "strike" after that day. They decided that 3.1 miles is as far as they want to carry me now. Cool

              Holy cow, Basya! You look so bad ass! You're like a mean running machine, I LOVE that picture! I want to look like you in my races, instead of some puny fearful looking little thing. Do you mind if I start dressing like you? It's so totally cool!!! And awesome form you have!

                    This is indeed one awesome photo. You look like you're running after someone to kick their ass.

                    I have not been around here long, but this is the first photo I've seen of you. Looking forward to more on Friday!

                        Does this count? I was messing about with DW before we went for a run in 30 degree temps. When our DDs see me in those tights they cough, gag, pretend to vomit, and call me "noodles." Ah, the joys of parenthood...

                              By the way, the picture was right side up on my phone. I have no clue how that happened.

                                Unable to find anything recent, but here is a pic from 2 years ago when I was just getting going with the running. (Legs are more defined and tan now)  But I really like this double floater pic.  :-)
