busy mother of 4
wife of 1
multi-tasker of much

i know she hates stuff like this but
honestly
26.2 is something to be shouted from the rooftops
hooray laura! you did it!
if you're keeping track, that makes two teeny tiny SIL's of mine
{both are just a hair over 5 feet tall}
who can call themselves marathoners

i felt so inspired i went and bought new running shorts. i saw some girl wearing a pair i liked at the gym and thought i'd ask her if she thought they'd work for me. thanks to the hot friction of thigh rubbage i generally stay away from shorts, so here's hoping. i hope she felt special. it's not every day a random stranger approaches you in the gym and asks you if your shorts crawl up when you run. it's a valid question okay? the last thing i need is an angry inner thigh rash ifyouknowwhati'mtalkin'about...
if you don't then i hate you.
i'll let you know how it goes.
happy monday people!

Wow. I seriously don't get the whole marathon thing. SO awesome that there are people who can do it, but I feel pretty proud myself after 3 miles on the treadmill. I'm just sayin'.
I run in yoga pants because of thigh rubbage. Not cool. At least we don't have to deal with jock rubbage like the hubs. Eww.
I'm working on a 10k and that is far enough for me...I have several marathoners in my fam and I really don't care to join them. :)
Good luck with the shorts!
-I don't get to use the word climax much...if you know what I mean. ;)
and yes...you are immature.
I am so with you on the riding shorts. One of the MANY reasons that I. do. not. run. But I secretly wish I could. Really. But I like to stick to things I'm good at. It's a self-esteem booster.
Oh. How I know.
I admire runners.
Good luck with the shorts.
Needless to say I was a little STUNNED and EMBARRASSED to see my photo on your blog this afternoon. However, I'm living proof that if I can do it ANYONE can!! It just proves what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. And alas, even after training for 26.2 my thighs still rub!
go laura!
i don't know you but i love you.
it is my dream.
it will come. someday.
yo.kalli ko.
Hey if they work give me a shout-out!! I'm training for my first dualthlon, running and swimming (yikes). I hate shorts but I'm willing to try.
Hee Hee! Just wandered in today from Mormon mommie blogs. Love the marathon post and wanted to share OUR marathon post also.
If you get a minute, come give us a visit:)

I also am glad that I don't have "jock rubbage". :) so funny. Good for Laura! Unfortunatly for me. . . huge jugs and running do not mix! (on the other hand, maybe if I ran more the jugs wouldm't be so huge. hmmm
Good job, Laura!
How cool is that for your sister in law. I'm proud of her too! Doing the half was a lot of work for me but the feeling of accomplishment as you cross the finish line is unreal!! I can't imagine doing a full! I hope to do one the end of this summer! You're sister in law is awesome! Truly Awesome!
And, yes I would love to do your hair. Call me. Does the hub still have my number? (That sounds bad... but you know what I mean!) :)
I was wearing a shirt at the gym which reads "Michael Scott's Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race For The Cure" when a woman ran up to me to tell me all about how she was a bigger The Office fan than me.
What?
Marathon . . . *shudder*
