20 miles baby

Got this necklace for my birthday I think I should cut off one or two of the strings, a bit too much, a bit heavy as well. Tony thinks not any thoughts....


This is where I have been jogging, so gorgeous once the snow melts....I remember why I love Park City.


Ok, I ran 20 miles yesterday, well felt like I ended up walking quite a bit of it, but I did it. Tony came with the girls and met me half way to refill my water and tissues. I don't know what my problem is I go through about 6 tissues in 10 miles, I must admit I forgot tissues once and ended up trying the farmer's blow. Let me tell you it was not a pretty site. I am certain that I had snot everywhere.
The book I am reading to help me through the marathon tells me to pick a mantra or positive thoughts to keep me going. I don't think his positive thoughts are the same as mine. At a really hard part where my hips were aching and my feet needed to be massaged by some gorgeous guy (a bit like the hotty that changed the windshield on my car), my mantra became oh you so deserve a huge glass of wine and a cigarette. I figure whatever keeps you motivated.....he, he.

A few annoyances yesterday, while jogging at about mile 12 some stupid dog lover throws her ball for her dog to catch and hits me. If I hadn't have been so tired and not wanted to waste my breath on her I would have given her a piece of my mind. Don't worry I gave the look back and shook my head, showed her. Last night my friend Sharon told a lady that I was running a marathon her response, "well if I didn't work oh the things I could do".....whatever fat ass!

OK, I feel better.

When I need to get my windshield fixed, I'm giving you a call and getting his name. Raising 2 girls is more important work than fat-ass is doing.
