One of the “Perks” of the Half Marathon I ran last weekend was that all the race pics were free! \u00a0Those of you who are runners will know that free race pics don’t happen all that often so I was pretty pleased to find out about that.<\/p>\n
They posted the race pics today.<\/p>\n
There are a LOT of pics of me! \u00a0That was nice. \u00a0Most of those pics will never see the light of day. HA!<\/p>\n
Most of you know that I left my Endurance Obsession Team Racing shirt at the 4 mile water stop. \u00a0That water stop was about two blocks from the start\/finish. \u00a0I asked them to please drop it off at the start\/finish when they packed up their water stop. \u00a0They said they would. \u00a0No problem.<\/p>\n
I finished the race in just my sports bra and shorts…my pudgy tummy hanging out there for all to see. \u00a0#UGH<\/p>\n
As soon as I crossed the finish line, I began my frantic search for my shirt. \u00a0I really, really wanted to cover up. \u00a0I couldn’t find it anywhere!<\/p>\n
Soon it was time for awards and I would get to go up on the podium! \u00a0I was pretty excited about that but not so excited about being on the podium in what I was wearing. \u00a0I spied a friend of mine who wears about the same size as I do. \u00a0She was wearing her racing shirt AND a jacket.<\/p>\n
“Pam!”<\/p>\n
She was very gracious and said of course I could wear her jacket until after awards. \u00a0She is a good friend!<\/p>\n
So, I smiled while I got my award and then returned Pam’s jacket. \u00a0MFH and a couple of friends who had carpooled with me returned to our car and headed home. \u00a0As soon as we got back to the house, I put on a shirt! \u00a0Hahaha!!!<\/p>\n
Funny how when you’re running you don’t feel half naked but once you’re DONE running…<\/p>\n

Here’s a few of the pics from the race. \u00a0And that middle pic? \u00a0That is NOT a smile. \u00a0THAT is a grimace.<\/p>\n
