What's Up....is it really Spring?

What's Up??

Sure "I run this body".....so here we go again....The Jamestown Bridge 10K, Jamestown, RI - This Sunday, April 7, 2013


Oy, this bridge run is a tough mutha', and yet, here we are again, Nancy, Stuart, and I (and this year Larissa), are running this bridge. We love it though, and this will be year 3 and the people are so nice. The goodies and free giveaways rock. Last year, Nancy and I looked like ballerinas in our pink tutus, NOT this year!! Stuart was embarrassed to stand next to us. Too bad bro.
I'm not planning on running it fast, but as most of you know, that's my "famous speech", because once I'm on the run, and someone is being an a-hole on the road, I will chase you down!
 
 

A Challenge you Say??? Planks??

Gina is challenging me to a planks competition. Game on.....Bring it. Mrs. Gina, the gym rat versus Ms. J the outdoor, runner/biker gal. So we're working out the details, and I'll have to get back to you on this. As Elle knows, from a few years ago, you can find me planking anywhere (on top deck of a sailboat!). I think if I win, Gina will have to cook me dinner, something Italian with a nice chianti (NO Hannibal thank you!) OR her Nicholas can give me a few guitar lessons?? I'm NOT going back to ballet (great challenge...plié....squat/squeeze...oy vey), so forget about it!
Comments and/or suggestions are welcome!!!
 
 


Happy Spring....but where is it? New England weather makes us crazy!! However, my flip flops are out, and the toe nails are painted (see last post). I look forward to wearing pretty, flouncy blouses and dresses and sandals!! Yet, there's nothing like wearing those springy/summery fitness clothes, to show off my arms and legs from running, biking, and weight training (yes, I'm back to it!!).
Check out Jill's site for lots of good eats, training, and other good stuff.

  8. Crap I think we are in the same corral and time..I'll be easy to spot in the corral..

    Tell Jill hello at the finish line for me..I know you'll be way ahead of me..the pole kind of slows me down not to mention my achilles is pretty bad.
