Tsali Frosty Foot 30K in Pictures

I rounded up some pictures today and a couple of them are total comedic gems... These first two aren't bad and I actually really like the second one:

Brad took this next one as I was coming in, the race photographer must have missed me (probably got tired of waiting!):

You can kind of see the mess you had to run through that I was complaining about yesterday.

These last two make me laugh, but there is a story behind them! I was coming up on a guy and he started walking up the hill that the photographer was sitting on top of. So I was acting like a spaz and asked the photographer if you could photoshop us to make it look like we were running. This is what he got:

Too funny! PS the images with PROOF on them are from the race photographer, Christopher Graphics.

The New Rules of Lifting for Women

Tomorrow I'm starting stage one of this bad boy:

To say that I've become addicted to training would be an understatement. I feel like it's made a huge difference in my running and my body. In January I started lifting three times a week. My brother made me two plans and I just alternated them. Around March he switched them up a little for me. Then last month I did three new plans that a trainer made me (I won some free training sessions). I mostly took last week off, minus one training session with my little brother while I was in KY.

Now I'm going to give this plan a try. It has three stages and I really enjoyed reading the book. It seems like the author understands that there are women out there that want to lift and push themselves.

I'll keep you all updated with how it goes.

Along with my new found love of lifting I've developed another love:

Taking awkward self portraits. Syntha-6 protein powder. It's not chunky. It tastes like a chocolate milk shake. LOVE.

And just because it made me so proud, I have to share this with you all. Look what my awesome brother said on FB last week:

Having him say that meant the world to me, cause he's a BOSS in the gym.


Hope you all have a great Monday!
