Looks like you've come a long way in just one year. Don't let the roots and rocks and other obstacles get you down, they're much more personable than asphalt and concrete. Onward and upward, keep on keepin' on Athena-lady.Desert Dirthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12413559978573420359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-10430536477618120062010-10-13T13:03:23.891-06:002010-10-13T13:03:23.891-06:00You ran this the day before we went shopping for a...You ran this the day before we went shopping for awesome outfits for you? Wow! I would have likely been in bed with my honey (and toast), sucking my thumb. I am so doing this race next year because by then, surely I will have the ABQ Half Marathon out of my system.moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824043795171732429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-78016737459974186972010-10-11T10:06:15.941-06:002010-10-11T10:06:15.941-06:00I LOVE last year's photo compared to this year...I LOVE last year's photo compared to this year's photo...you look so darn cute!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05064924692767548756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-71896921669225018342010-10-11T09:42:51.662-06:002010-10-11T09:42:51.662-06:00I am hoping "honey" is a euphemism for w...I am hoping "honey" is a euphemism for what I think it is, because you are both looking pretty damn hot post race! <br /><br />(You can always count on me to class the joint up :) ) <br /><br />I still can not fathom that elevation.

I've heard really good things about it. Plus you're getting your freaking out phase over with long before the race (good plan).<br /><br />Baboo is so cute!

I...Great job; you're really getting speedy!<br /><br />I'd like to do some trail races next year. I'm thinking of easing myself into it with something like Sandia Mountain Shadows trail run in Albuquerque. The profile of this one intimidates me.

Honey keeps for thousands of years without spoiling (the honey found in egyptian graves was perfectly fine) - germs can't live in honey if it's kept away from any water sources (NO refrigerator - ever).<br /><br />And congrats.Schneckehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613789004488021832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-63852896817015715262010-10-09T19:13:42.991-06:002010-10-09T19:13:42.991-06:00Your pictures are gorgeous.

At least, I hope so. <br /><br />Your prize definitely rocks. Much better than some ol medal.Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.com
