Derby Mini Marathon 2011 Recap!

That was super cool! ...

Late to the Game!
Shew, what a Dash today! Amazing! Definite inspo around here today. I had a very hard time finding and “before”-ish photos of me. Here’s all I could find. And here’s my “during”. I’m not an “after” yet. :-)

I don’t want to point fingers, but I sure can think of a couple of fitblr dudes and at least one lady who are capable. ;-) runlong: I’m still in need of a safety runner at Tahoe on July 16. What does this involve? Basically, I need someone to accompany me on the trails for a long time, late evening and through the night (after the 50 mile mark), and make sure I don’t get lost, don’t get...

Have you ever seen a genuine ShortMom smile?
Not one that’s like, “Smile nice, don’t look too old!” — but one with crooked nose, wrinkles, pre-shower, dimples, stupid hat and all? (Parentheses around the mouth even tell you how sincere).
