Unfortunately, today I spent a good portion of my day at work. Not fun. Here is how I looked at work (my best super annoyed poses). I am VERY Busy at work right now, and having 4 days off to go to Boston didn't exactly help things. We had way too much going on Saturday, so I headed in to work this afternoon. As you can imagine, it was super quiet, so I got alot done (including taking pics of myself).

I look gooooood in these pics huh? Nice hair and make-up or lack thereof. ********************************************************* |
As part of my long run, I also incorporated the Jelly Bean 10K hosted by Jess at Run with Jess. I completed my 6.2 miles in 1:18:18. Jack and I snapped a couple of race photos. Jack really gets into blogging with me. Thanks to Jess for hosting such a fun race!! I just loved the Jelly Bean theme. To get in the spirit, and to aid in recovery I purchased some Sport Beans. That's me holding some sport beans in my hand in the first photo (below).
Tip of the Day: Do not put Sport Beans in the little pouch on the back of your running pants!! I went to take them out at about mile 7 and they were melted.....from my sweat......that's right....I had a handful of Sport Beans full of BUTT SWEAT......YUM!! Wow, I just used the term butt sweat on my blog :) Who wants some sweaty jelly butt beans?

| Pre-race with Sport Beans still intact...Jack - "Mom I'll take some of those" |
 |
| Seriously Mom.....a Bunny Mask......Seriously |
 |
| Is he sticking his tongue out at me? |
 |
| Ok Mom, one good one for all my fans! |
Extra salt - yum.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very agreeable dog.
ReplyDeleteDid u eat the butt sweat beans??????
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!!Sweaty sport beans!!! I love the non sweaty ones. :) You did better then me..I just ate real jelly beans of course I only did the 10k not 11 miles.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of Jack and can't wait for the race report next week! I'm betting you get a PR!
Great job getting in your last long run before the 1/2! My husband, Chris, humored me with a run tonight as well. (he's way faster than me) But I told him, he needs to keep running with me at least 1x every 2 weeks. A family that runs together, stays together ;)
ReplyDeleteHa ha..I have totally done that before with my sport beans...lesson learned! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are going to do great in your half! Coming off of an injury is tough, and you have been doing great with your training! Whatever comes of your race, just remember that you are of a small percentage of people that can actually run a 1/2 marathon and that is awesome!!

ReplyDeletei know you'll do awesome on your half next week!!
OMG, how cute is that pic of you and Jack in the bunny masks?!? Love it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck next weekend!
Great job on the Jelly Bean 10k! haha I put Clif Shot blocks through the wash once! Oops! Probably similar to the jelly butt beans!
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny about the sport beans. Thanks for telling me though because I probably would do that!
ReplyDeleteHey you should email me so we can meet up in OKC!
I've done that with the beans too. Even worse, I've put cherry beans in a pocket of a tri top -- a white pocket -- and then had to eat salty beans from a permanently stained shirt! I told everyone I was bleeding so at least I would look tough and cool.
ReplyDeleteLove the bunny glasses.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the tip on sweat bum sports beans. I haven't done that, but it's exactly the kind of thing I would do!
LOL!!! Butt Sweat Jelly Beans, now I have read it all on the blogshpere
ReplyDeleteNice run
And I had a nice giggle at the doggy pictures
Don't worry over your time! The main thing is that you're doing it. I've had many walking miles myself! I probably will have one this weekend too! :)
ReplyDeleteI think the Easter masks are awesome!
I was laughing so hard when you put the sports beans in your pants! I once put some Tylenol in my runners pouch with a friends Blackberry and you dont even wanna know how that turned out! The look on her face was priceless!
Good luck at your OKC half!! woo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteOkay, you know I love the pics of you and Jack!! What a good sport!
Maybe the sportbeans turned into a GU?? :) ha!!
love
ReplyDeletelove
love
the photos!!!!!!
you are doing your half same day as me!
ReplyDeletehere's to a good May 1st! bringing us speedy legs!!! This will be my 2nd and I am hoping to get a better time but also to have a better race, last time I hit the wall at mile 11 and it was hard.
So taper this week right?
I dont like taper week
Hmmm... perhaps a new flavor for Jelly Belly.
ReplyDeleteButt Sweat.
Uh, maybe not.
Well done on the run, though. You'll do well on Sunday, no doubt.
That's quite the inbox you have. Best wishes to you on catching up.
ReplyDeleteInstead of bemoaning the melted Sport Beans, turn lemons into lemonade... Now you have a sport drink with sodium. Or maybe it's more like Gu.
Loved all the bean butt sweat talk. um..yum? I probably would have still eaten them.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing my very first official half marathon next Sunday, too! Hooray for all us halfers next weekend!!
OK, Jack and Bailey (Mandy's dog) might have to have a 'really, this is how you want me to look' photo contest now.
ReplyDeleteBUTT SWEAT Jelly Beans....YUM!!!! or YUCK!!!! Depends on how far you have run that day.
