My pic to the left and on my profile is 10 stps from the finish of my fastest half. So....I guess that's what I look like.

I usually look like I am about to die. Exhibit 1

Look how happy everyone else is Exhibit 2

I don't think I ran all out on this, but still look like I am about to pass out

Poor woman, she is not deidentified like milktruck is.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

I think I was saying shit...or maybe fuck:

I hope my finish photo at Bayshore is less goofy than my one for Milwaukee....

Sounds like a good weekend. The day of the Eastern States 20 Miler was miserable. It was cold, rainy and windy but at least it was mostly a tailwind. I spent the first 18 miles giving my friend Fireman Bob grief because the "race" was his idea. When he could take no more whining, he told me to kick and I did. Mile 19 was 7:30 and mile 20 was 6:50, and the photographer caught me tearing around the last corner to the finish.

I thought "for once a good race photo", but figured I better double check and asked for a closeup of my expression before ordering. Apparently I've mastered the art of running in my sleep. Angry

Well...it's not my face...and luckily there is no picture...but I'm pretty sure my running skirt (with briefs) rode up far enough to show about 1/2 of my ass while kick'n it to the finish during my last 5K Blush
