Well, apparently my friends saw my suffering and are helping me upgrade. Earth Momma Mer's husband couldn't take my use of towels as aerobar stand ins, so he passed along the set he had purchased and didn't like. I installed them on Wednesday and I LOVE THEM.In addition, SpeeDee informed me that she will come over today with a new seat for me. Actually, two. And whichever one fits, I get to keep. My very bruised back side is beyond grateful for this gesture. I am a lucky girl. My friends are freaking amazing.
2. I am racing my "A" half on Saturday. I feel that unless we get a crazy hot and humid day on Saturday (which does happen in VA), I think this is my best attempt at a sub 1:55 at least until the fall/winter. The course is perfect. I'm running with KC and I'm ready to go. The major issue right now - I have NO IDEA what I am wearing. This is so unlike me. Throw out some color suggestions or something ...
3. I have decided to register Dizzle for her first 5K on April 30th. I am going to run it with her and we plan on implementing a 4:1 run/walk ratio. I'm pumped for her. I know she will do awesome and since there are only like three other kids in the 5-9 age group, she could walk away winning her age group. At least that's my goal ...

I'd go with a orange/pink combo for your sub 1:55. Because you will run a sub 1:55. :)
I'm a pink and black girl myself....might be leaving my comfort zone though for my 10k before Easter and work in some yellow! Good luck this weekend!!!
I need friends like you.
Outfit: Hmmm.... I like blues right now.
5k: So cool... my daughter was interested in walking the 5k... lol
What about a purple? Or pink and gray? Maybe I should go back to the picture of all your skirts...
I LOVE that Dizzle loves to run- I hope my girls will want to do that too!!
I say wear red. It says killer, confident attitude and strength! You are definitely ready for this.
this is an awesome three things!
I wish I'd started racing as a kid, I probably would have gotten into running WAY faster.
Hahaha, "your goal" - I love it! My oldest gal is running her first 5k this weekend and I'm beyond excited for her. I wanted to run with her but Hubby "forbade" it saying that I'd scare too many people - I am 2 weeks away from my due date, alas. He does have a point considering the people at the grocery store practically follow me around with a bucket and mop in case my water breaks while I'm there. Sheesh. There's no dignity anymore.
Enjoy running with Dizzle! My 7 yr old did an 8K with me last winter and now he constantly wants to run in races!
Wow what great friends!!!!
I am so into green right now and of course pink....I am sure you will find the right outfit:)
Yay for the 5K. She will love it!
Yay for the aero bars and new seat!!! Your friends rock!!
Good luck Sat!! Sub 1:55 is totally possible! You can do it!!
And go Dizzle!! So exciting!!!
dizzle in her first 5k?! PRECIOUS.
And rock your half this weekend! you've totally got the sub 1:55 in you!
it looks like perfect weather this weekend! crush that half BABY!
purple and lime!
(and I decided on a sherbet orange color for saturdays top)
I like how you put that, "A" half! Hoping the humidity stays away, I now understand how awful it is running in that kind of weather.
I know you'll get that sub 1:55, it's time.
Can I have your friends when you're done with them?
I'm pumped for your half this weekend! You've got this b!tch in the bag.
Her 1st 5k is the same day as my 1st half marathon!!
Score on the new bars & seat!
Fingers crossed for decent weather this weekend. GOOD LUCK! Get that 1:55!
SO excited for Dizzle!! that will be so fun :)
go bold I'm thinking red or orange!!
You do have amazing friends!
I say bright see-it-from-space orange. (S'ghetti G's soccer uniform is that color and I LOVE it!)
A 5k! Wow. Your kids are amazing. I'm not suprised, though.
Sub 1-5-5 here you come!
wait you are the outfit queen, you inspire me how could you not know what your wearing?!
love that others are so awesome to pass on unneeded gear!
A good seat is a must when it comes to cycling :)
It's so great that you're getting your kids into running and living an active lifestyle!
Can't wait to hear about your new PR! And excited for the 5K! It's an incredible experience to run with your child in their first race! Good luck!!
I know I'm late to the party, but good luck tomorrow!!!!
