5k run with Santa

hey y'all! hope everyone is having an awesome week. hb & i finally got the pics from the race, and don't we look cool? actually, hb looks like he is having a nice leisurely run, whereas i look like i'm about to die. notice how there are no runners really behind us - in fact, just a woman out to run errands! next time, it will be a better finish for sure!!

ps, in case you were wondering about my gear - headband is from manzella, longsleeve crew is from mizuno, shorts by nike, tights by underarmour, and the half-zip is pearl izumi. next time i think i would probably just wear the crewneck.

hey y'all! i'm sure by now y'all know that lsu will be playing alabama in the national championship game. it's kind of annoying that we have to play a team we have already beaten in the regular season, BUT i will say that bama is probably the second best team in the nation. one sportscaster said that the rest of the conferences should not be up in arms about this since they didn't take care of business in the regular season. i agree, but it would have been nice to have the national title game as an obvious win for us. the honey badger is ready for this game though.
speaking of honey badgers, my friends have now taken to calling me this since i use the honey badger as motivation when i run. every time i think i want to stop, i just think of how tenacious the honey badger is and keep going. unfortunately, i did walk part of the time at my first 5k this weekend. the silver lining is that although i woke up feeling cold and achy, i was able to finish in 43 minutes when my goal was to finish in 45. i guess i can only get better from here.
geaux tigers!!
