me and my feet



These puppies and I have been through a lot these past few months....3 different pairs of shoes, tendon issues, Intense hip and knee pain, and more miles than I EVER thought I could run....5 months and give or take 400 plus MILES total training....WOW!!!!! So, so glad I did it. So, so ready to do it again(depending on the day). Ready to change my training, add more miles, be more dedicated and cross another finish line.
Funny, really...because while I was running I said to myself "What was I thinking" and "I would rather have 10 more kids without anesthesia and 10 hour labor than do this again"...but after I was done....There is VERY little that compares to the sense of self accomplishment that you feel, The only other times I can attribute it to is when you have children...Like "I am woman"!!!!
You know that feeling?


*Can't wait to do the Southern Cal. RELAY race...what's better than a bunch of women spazing out, running, laughing, possibly some crying by me of course....186.8 miles in 24 hours...we have got to be crazy!!!!!

4:30 am....very little sleep the night before, I was so so NERVOUS!
My body is all twisted weird in this photo, oh well. Trying to wrangle the kids to get them in a picture, see how well that worked! :)
