You can eat too healthy you know....

Made this for Ben after he came home from gymnastics.  He looked at it and said "Is this for me?  You can eat too healthy, you know".  Then he ate the whole thing!!!

Imagine no malaria June run #3

Sam and I did a run in Webster on Saturday. It wasn't timed, so I timed it on my phone.  We ran it in 32:50, probably my "comfortable" time.  I did walk some of it.  It was pretty warm and humid and I much prefer to run in the cold weather.

We chased this mosquito, who was big enough he could hold the flag during the National Anthem!!!!

We look pretty happy that it's over.  We have done 3 runs in June, still planning on doing one every month this year

All American Run-June run #2

Sam and I did the All American 5K yesterday. I have done it every year it's been going, this was Sam's first time doing this run.  It's heralded as the fastest run in St Louis because a lot of it is downhill.  Unfortunately, it is NOT my fastest run.  I really wanted to be under 30 minutes, but I just could not do it.  My final time was 30:49, at least it was 9 seconds faster than last year!!!  I was 11th out of 50 in my age category, so not too bad

My "after picture" has me smiling, but I was not very happy!!!!

Still, I am on target to do a run every month this year.....

First Run in June

Sam and I did the Yoga 6 6K run in Forest park last night (Yoga 6, 6K, 6pm, on 6/6!!!).  It was a really nice run, there weren't too many people (only 87 in total).  Most of the runners were young and fit, so I came 60th out of the 87 but my time was 37:19.  The last time I did a 6K (Stan Musial Bridge), I did it in 38:48, so I was much faster

Our before and after pictures look pretty much the same....

Girls on the Run 2014

Girls on the Run was last Saturday, my second run in May 2014.  We all met as a team and started together.

This run is the only one I know where the majority of the participants wear the race shirt, it always looks so cool when you see a sea of color.

Maggie did not do very well this year, she just would not run at all not matter what I did to encourage her.  I tried everything, but nothing worked.  She walked, she cried, she whined.  I eventually left her when we saw the finish line and took this picture of her crossing about a minute after me

After making out she was dying and a bunch of melodrama, she immediately turned around and was fine.  She wasn't even breathing that hard.  She is so frustrating sometimes!!!  Still, we made it and I will keep on trying to get her to exercise whenever I can

Whole Life Challenge, Round 3

Started this on Saturday, I have a long way to go!!!!

May 2014 Run for Sight

Molly works in the ophthalmology department at SLU and asked me if I wanted to do the Run for Sight 5K.  Maggie and I are doing GOTR next Saturday, but this was for a good cause, so I did it with Anne and Molly this past Sunday.  It was a great day for a run....

We asked someone to take an after picture by one of the St. Louis 250 cakes, nice finger shot in the corner!!!!

Pretty hopeless time, but we did it!!!
