4th of July MSUM 10K

These are some SMOKING HOT ladies! How could they not be with Barb's awesome FLAG SHORTS and matching STAR bondi band!
Thier times were HOT too! Turns out that Marilyn likes to PR on hot sunny race days with some crazy 45 minute finish! If you look closely, she's holding an ice cream scoop she won as her prize for placing in her division! Nice Job Marilyn!

Heidi and I came across the line at 55:34 (8:59 pace....not a second more!) ....hunched over and ready to puke on the sidelines. Coffee never tasted so bad in the tummy!

Barb ran an awesome 6 miles...her first 6 miles in months, months, months! 1:07 and change. It should be known that she would have come in earlier, but with one mile left to go...she heard them announcing the winning finish times for the 50+ womens category....and said "what the HELLO?!?!?!" and decided to take a stroll. Uh Barb? they were announcing the 1 Mile finish time, not the 10K. Get your arse moving! :)

Bottom line is....aren't we all adorable?

Great River Relay Update

Preparations are in FULL swing for the Great River Relay of 2008! Sounds like Krista and Marilyn are scoring some good loot for the van decs....and Jen Dees is just plain ol' score awesome vehicles. Imagine us pulling up to the starting line in a 1970 Volkswagon Van, pimped out with hippie paint all over. That's right girls! Jen's got her thinking cap on and some of us lucky girls will be rollin' in a VW Van, pulling up to exchanges in our WHOR-ish Hippie attire! Jen, does this thing have air conditioning?

Rumor has it that there's been some planning going on for choreographed dance routines when we pull up to some major exchanges. That's right girls.....we dont' just run, we dance too! And it's all in the name of that Homecoming Title we want to bring home! uh...no. I am not kidding. So stay tuned....more info on the way!

Next on my agenda is to find a place that can hook us up with a great sound system that projects on the OUTSIDE of the vehicles. If anyone has some ideas, let me know.

How's everyone's training going? The heat? The hill workouts? Hope everyone's looking forward to our triple run coming up on the 15th and 16th!
