I have the office lifestyle of Pam Beasley, the fabulousness of Lauren Conrad, and the witty repartee of Homer J. Simpson

It's been a busy weekend! The Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon has come and gone. I was able to finish in 2:51 -- kept it nice and steady which I'm happy with. But what I'm THRILLED about is that I didn't stop or walk -- I even ran in place at the crowded water stops. Hooray!

Big, huge, glittery congratulations to all runners out this Sunday. And a gigantor thank you to all supporters and volunteers -- you guys made it a nice and smooth race. (Although I need to write a letter to whoever ordered the hard plastic, non-crushable cups, aka sprained ankle makers).

And now for a gallery!  (Send me your pics and name if you'd like to be included! marathonmissfit@gmail.com)
