Pictures from Run for Life Half Marathon

October 17, 2010 | Uncategorized

 

       Good evening! I hope everyone has had a fabulous day! We did some more cleaning out at Bobby’s dad’s house and packing at our own house! We just took the girls for a ride on the golf cart, they love it! Now watching more football and cooking dinner. My Saints played well today, I am proud of them. Ok, on to the pictures. Sorry the quality is bad, I took a picture of the pictures on the computer, but, you get the idea.

This is one a friend took so it is of good quality. My leg looks so weird!

This was around mile five. As you can see, I am still smiling and thinking this is a good idea!

This was at the end, right before the finish. I was in pain!

Finish line!

Sorry about the quality once again!

I know I said this before but I have some old track pictures from High School I found…hilarious! Hopefully I will get them scanned this week and get them on the blog. I look like such a nerd.

Sorry for the short post today has been super busy, I have barely even been on the computer!

Knee update: I am pretty sure I am having IT band issues. I pronate, it hurts more going downhill, all the classic symptoms. I have been icing, elevating, and foam rolling (painful!) as well as some other things so hopefully I will be good to go!

QOTD: do you ever get good photos of yourself at races? If you have one on your blog, link it up in the comments so everyone can see!

    Your leg doesn’t look weird-it just looks muscular!

    These are great pictures of you running your half.

      not as many ppl dressed up last year (at least for the disney half) b/c it was 23 degrees! I haven’t decided yet. We will see when it gets closer!

    Your race pictures are great! Congrats! I always look hunched over and weird in race photos. I’ve yet to see a good one. This is the year, though!

  10. Becky says

    October 18, 2010 at 8:59 am

    You look great in your photos!

    My official race photos are always terrible, so my little bro is my “official” photographer. He takes great photos so I’m lucky to have great memories from every race.

    • runningwithsass says

      October 18, 2010 at 9:28 am

      thats awesome! We don’t live by family and my husband always runs races with me so we never get any pictures other than seeing the official ones!

Backstory: It was our last morning and Myself, my Backstory:
It was our last morning and Myself, my mom and dad were sitting outside by the fire drinking coffee enjoying the view. My mom was walking to the door and my dad and I heard a scraping noise on the deck. I was sitting and the column was blocking my view. Dad was standing. He turns away from me, and says super casually:

“Oh look, it’s a bear.” 🐻 

I jumped up sure enough there is a baby bear standing at the top of the steps, 12 feet from us. We ran in and locked the door and called for Bobby and EK to come look. We left our coffee outside and mom and dad’s phones were out there. Thankfully I had mine for video!

We had grilled steaks the night before so they were coming to find the food. (After the first morning…we had grilled the first night too…we saw bear paw prints so we knew there were some in the area.) 

Emma Kate was recording on her iPad, and got the best clip of all, the very best one! He actually seated at her two different times but we only got one on video. 

It was quite the adrenaline rush but also SO COOL and a great way to end the trip!!! 

*Please do not ever approach or feed a bear. While black bears typically aren’t aggressive, if humans feed them they will continue to get close. If staying in the Smoky Mountains stay aware and never leave food outside or in your car! And lock your car and cabin doors.*
