I will explain the picture in just a minute.... This past weekend I ran the Swiss Days 10K with my awesome mother and father-in-law. It was such a great race with cool weather and a beautiful course up in Midway. I had never run a 10K race before so I wasn't really sure how I'd do. My goal was come in under 40:00 and my official time was 40:00.3! So I missed my goal by .3 of a second! Dang! LOL! But I did take first overall for the women's which was cool. Bruce took 5th in his age group and Ronda did a great job and finished in style (she's one hot lady!!!)
So to explain the picture and title of this blog entry....after I finished my race, I ran back to meet up with Bruce and help him finish. Well, as we were running the last 1/2 mile together, some girl who we had just passed yells at me, "Hey skinny, why don't you try eating a hamburger and steak sometime huh?" I had my headphones in my ears so I'm sure she thought I wouldn't hear her but I didn't have my music playing at the time so I heard her loud and clear! So I whipped my head around and said, " I eat hamburgers all the time!" She looked horrified and I just smiled and finished the race with Bruce. Some nerve huh? Usually people are so cool and nice during a race because we are all there to push ourselves and finish strong. Well, after the race was over, she came up to me and apologized. She felt really bad and she said she was jealous that I was so thin. I told her that I hear comments like that all the time and that I eat a ton! I told her I have been training hard this summer trying to get back in shape after having my second baby. She did feel bad and I'm glad she apologized but come on....have some class people.
I wanted to tell her that I also pumped 8 oz. of breast milk before the race and was wondering if she had any cool super powers like me!? I'm sure she didn't....
