First Female and Foto Friday

When I walked into the gym this morning the guy at the desk said, "first female!" I lit up thinking I was in a race, but no, I was just as the stupid gym. Wishful thinking.

It's Foto Friday over at Nikemom and the topic is running. We were suppose to be creative and I honestly tried to take a picture of my black toenail that is about to fall off (yes, that's as creative as I get), but I couldn't get the picture to turn out right. So, I'm going to leave you with this one from Reach the Beach. I was running really fast! ;-)



Now for the Biggest Loser Competition!! Today is Day 1! I'm really excited for everyone who signed up. There are 5 contestants so there's a good pot of money that will go to biggest loser at the end of the 13 weeks. I'm hoping these guys challenge me a little bit to see if I have it in me to motivate them and help them out along the way. It will be good practice for when I get my PT certification.

I'm suppose to run 20 miles tomorrow and I'm not sure that was the smartest idea. The longest I've run since the marathon was 13 so I'm not sure how I'll feel going for 20. I'm going to play it by ear and at least get 14-15 in. If I feel good, I'll keep going. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

You make me feel guilty that you have already been to the gym today.
I hope you reach your mileage goal on Saturday!

I'm impressed with the whole getting up at 5am thing. I don't roll well with the mornings, myself.

Have a great weekend, and good luck with the run

Good luck with the 20 miler. I'm in a cut back week and gladly only have 11 for my long run this weekend.

We're doing a Biggest Loser Challenge at my office, and I am surprised how much fun it has been. I think we have 25 people doing it... so some people are getting pretty competitive now ;)
