The weekend is near!

Happy Friday!!!!

I think Friday deserves an extra thumbs up this week!!!

Last night Charlie, my friend Susan and I ran the Terrapin 5K.   Susan smoked me again (how does she run so friggin fast?  must be those long ass legs she has or genetics or training or a combination of all three).  My Official Chip time was 38:52 a 12:31 pace.  We celebrated at the finish line with beer, Flirty Girl Cupcakes (2-DIE-4…Yes I follow them on Twitter, Yes I resist on a daily basis.  The Curious George is quite possibly heaven in the form of cake and frosting) and the worlds smallest slice of Home Run in Pizza.  I inhaled all of it and might have made a quesadilla when I got home too.

I really need to get my pace back in the low 11:00’s preferably the high 10:00’s by the end of the year.  Now that I’m able to consistently run I think that’s a reality.  A sub 30:00 5K was on my list of goals 2 years ago, I’d like to make that a reality in 2011. Maybe I’ll have Susan put me on a leash and she can drag me to the finish line in under 30.

I’m running a non-chipped 5K next week, I’m going to try to shave at least 32 seconds off that time. Only issue with the race is that its on the lakefront path which is crowed.

Jeans-Cabi (compliments of Susan..they were too short on her (I told you she has long legs))

Shirt- Banana Republic (2008)

Shoes- Merrill (2008) (I’m walking at lunch today, don’t judge, I know they are not cute and slightly smelly from Bonnarooo)

Necklace- Gift

Earrings-?

I really should have done some deep knee bends before the pictures…the are a bit, um, snug! on me.
