It's sunny now...
...but here's what it looked like this morning.
Saint Tim and I have been volunteering at the local 5K races. After the last one - with a super cute hot dog running across the race t-shirt I might add - I decided there was really no reason why I couldn't do that.
I used to run before we moved to the farm. Tim was a big time cross country runner in high school and college. We are both a lot older and fatter now. I'd tried a couple of times to get back into it, but each time gave up due to injury, lack of motivation... I knew I needed a different angle. I decided to train in secret.
Tim always works the finish line. I go wherever they need me. For this race - as everyone but Tim knew I was going to run it - I was assigned "guarding a pothole out on the course". The game was to hopefully surprise Tim as I crossed the finish instead.
"So, you're basically a traffic cone, eh?" he asked when I told him my "assignment".
"Yep." :-)
Dr. Barron and another tech (not Louann ;-) and a friend from the local TSC ran
We live in a great little town...and I'm gonna get me a hot dog shirt next summer! :-D

Way to go Sara and Saint Tim! I'm proud of both of you. Just don't wreck your knees or hips with that running stuff...walk.
Congratulations finishing 166 is pretty good for a traffic cone, LOL. WTG
Good grief! She paints....she felts...she spins...she knits....now she runs (very respectably) in races! What does thecrazysheeplady NOT do?? You are a role model. I have no excuse now for saying "I just can't get into that too."
Congratulations!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I think that's really cool that you did this, in secret and finished strong!! What a great accomplishment, you deserve to be proud of yourself!
Wow!!! Give yourself a pat on your back!!!! You finished the race on your own two feet!!! Instead of being a traffic cone, you ran around one!
You didn't say if Tim was surprised to see you cross the finish line!?!
So proud of you, Sara :-D
Woohoo! Look at those LEGS! And I second what Alice said. I want to know how Tim reacted!
YOU GO GIRL!
So was Saint Tim surprised? Impressed? I sure am!!
Yes, he was completely surprised :-D.
Way to go! :)
Gee, the things you'll do to make it rain! Congrats on finishing in the top half of the pack.
GOOD FOR YOU! You should be very proud of yourself.
Next year too... rain or shine.
Go, you!!!!! :-)
Those self-improvement projects can be very rewarding!
Run, Sara, Run!!! What a set of gams you have. Congratulations on a HUGE accomplishment.
Congratulations!!!!
