Personal:

I am the self proclaimed FEARLESS leader of the FRB's RED HOT PINK CHICKS!!! Our Motto's are- 2010 "Diamonds and Titanium, Thats what we are made of!" 2009 "We are water-proof-dye-in-da-blue-crazy-nut'n-gonna-stop-us-fun-lovin'-red-hot-pink-chicks!!!"

The next official RHPC event is the RHPC 1/2(5k, 10k, 10 miler) July 16th, 2011. PLEASE join us !!!

My Favorite Quote- "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born. I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband. My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

First mile net down hill and conversley last mile net up hill. Middle three, flat flat flat! I ran to Salem and back on the highway. The run felt great. There was a tad bit of pushing going on, but I could have run further.

I wore my hot pint outfit and got two honks. I think I ran so fast because I was SO embarrassed! I look like an idiot! I like the shirt but the pants ride up my bum and they are HOT PINK! Oh well- live and learn!

It was 42 when I left and it's 46 now. I was cold the first 1.5 miles and was wishing I had brought my gloves and ear muffs. The last 3.5 miles were prefect.

All FRB's going to Painters- we are wearing hot pink and red. I will admit the pants are a bit much, but who knows, maybe I'll learn to love them. They especially look great against the white show in the BRIGHT sun!!! :D

Asics 9.5 Miles: 5.00

That must have been a sweet site. About Painter's I have 48 hours to decide (price goes up and I refuse to not pay early price for a race). Basically I am wondering if I will sleep at all with three night shifts in a row the last being Thurs nite. I probably will sleep-run thru Painters or hopefully be so adrenalinized from lack of sleep and lots of chocolate...I will let you know Friday. Thanks for the invite. PS I don't have any Hot Pink to wear.

Oh and awesome swift mile you did there. Good job!!!

Question:

1. I am not going to Painters. Can I still wear Pink and Red adn cheer?

2. What's your next short term goal after Painters? Is it rocking? Because you already do that!

From Camille on Wed, Jan 07, 2009 at 22:33:59

I bet you were cute in your hot pink!

From Marion on Wed, Jan 07, 2009 at 22:35:06

Benn- You may wear the "colors" if you post a picture! Do you think you can handle the "colors"? My 11 year old said, "Wow- that's AWFUL!!!" She was right. My next goal is to run the 5k in under 28 and a 10 k in under an hour. I also really want to "race" a 1/2. I am hoping I will be ready to race one either in May(ogden) or hopefully for sure by august(Hobble Creek).

Julie- Thanks, you would have DIED laughing if you had seen me. It would be great if you can come- but if it were me and that much sleep weirdness- I'd be migraine city. For me, just sleeping out of my bed will guarantee a migraine sunday or monday for sure. My head is such a pansy!

Oh my goodness...I don't know what I would do if I ran past a hot-pink runner out here. We'd really stop traffic if it happened to be a day that I was wearing my neon green running shorts. They are so obnoxious, but I love the pockets!

And, uh...can someone tell me what Painters is?

From Kelli on Thu, Jan 08, 2009 at 13:15:06

We will take some great pictures!!!! I am still working on the pants, but I have the best socks!!!

Great job, the weather really was nice for a minute. Wish I could have gone with you.

From Marion on Thu, Jan 08, 2009 at 16:28:14

I have to rework the pant too. I have a plethora of fabulous socks! :D
