Sorry No Jazz Hands


My gentle readers,

I tried to get the jazz hands into every photo op, but it didn't happen. I am truly sorry.


However, there is still humor to be found.
It looks like I'm actually enjoying myself in the first one - must be all the skills I learned in drama class. Faking the smile thing.

Then you can tell that things are taking a turn for the worse. Not so much enjoying th run.

Now this is my favorite. This guy realizes that the only way he will beat me is if he takes me out. Doesn't it look like he is going to sweep my legs right out from under me?
Funny thing is I looked up his time and he was actually 2 minutes ahead of me. I suck THAT much!

Very happy to be done.

Can't breath.

Want to die.

    I think you photoshopped the smile. I don't remember smiling *during* the race.

    Wow you take great running pictures! I turn BRIGHT red after about 10 minutes of running and look like a gross sweaty tomatoe.

    That guy is weird :S haha

    I possibly feel that airplane arms really took away any need to do jazz hands! Now, is this the same race that you got rained on last year? And you did great!

    i think you look good. it's good to make yourself suffer. now go and register for a 50k or something different, something challenging. you need to break up some of that monotomy.

    xxoo-

    You look like your running away from that guy's hug. Your face seems to say, in slow motion no less, "Nooooooooooo!" With good reason.

    You're a rockstar with or without the jazz hands!

    I am training for a hella long bike ride from Houston to Austin and I got off of my bike bc I dropped something. I did that half jog/ half walk type of run to pick up what I had dropped and then back to my bike and I wanted to die. I said outloud, "Running a marathon will never be a freakin goal of mine! UGH!" And then people passed me and thought I was crazy.

    Running is hard. Go you Miss Athletic thighs! Woop woop! ;)

    Haha you have "jazz hands" and I have the bunny arms...though mine ALWAYS ALWAYS make an embarassing appearance.

    You look great chica...I'm jealous of the sunshine and warmth!

    you look great! the fact that the guy was behind you in 3 out of 4 pics gives me the creeps- maybe he was checking you out-....is he single?

    You're looking good though, if not very happy...

    You should have just stopped - bang - that would taken the plane down..

    that first pic is a keeper, like blow up size keeper. Your legs look fantastic in that second one, no doubt. If I would have seen that mo fo in gray out there I woulda tripped him. He just looks annoying.

    Don't feel bad about the guy beating you. He apparently was fueled on Jackass and was more aerodynamic.
