GIVE ME SEXY!

Every girls dream shopping excursion. VICTORIA'S SECRET. I'm now wearing my polka dots from the Pink Collection :)
My credit card also made special guest appearances at Kenneth Cole, The Gap, Speedo, The Stupid Factory (where boys are made), Vanity.
And how could I forget the daily LYMO rides, THE LOIN, Salt Water Taffy in every possible flavor imaginable, Sweet n Salty mix, Dots etc

Besides shopping we also watched a lot of America's Next Top Model, Grey's Anatomy & of course the Olympics. One of the greatest things though was the outdoor Hot Tub!












RUN RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN:
The point of the trip...The MARATHON.
Sooo...lets get it out in the open...I did not qualify for the Boston this time.
We arrived at the start line shortly after 5am. It was a little chilly and very dark. We eyed up our competition and put on our game faces!
At the 5K mark I was pacing 9 min miles and the people around me where pretty happy with this time. It was 30 minutes into the race and I didn't really think I could pick up the pace to 8:13. Sooo I decided that I at least was going to finish the race so I might as well enjoy it as much as i could. One interesting part of the race was that at Mile 20, they actually had a WALL set up that you literally had to run through. I hit it on my way under!
My support crew, Katie & Roxane greated me at Mile 23 with gatorade and water and lots of motivational cheering.
I can't describe in words what it felt like to cross the finish line. When i got my medal I cried. and cried. and then cried somemore.
I don't know why I couldn't make myself run faster on that particular day, but I have not given up. And that's one more Marathon experience that I will never forget.

In other racing news....

Katie finished her very competitive 5K in a ridiculously fast time of 20:38 (correct me if i'm wrong on that one katie!) ; Roxane made it to the end of her very first 1/2 Marathon in 2 hours and 1 minute! Very impressed with her finish!















GO TEAM!!!
