Congrats!!!! So proud and impressed. I get out of breath just thinking about it. Hope you had a good time in Atlanta!!!

[supergal16]

Thanks girlfriend! Atlanta was fun - always nice to escape to sunny weather and to actually MEET your co-workers in person. Thanks again for letting us crash. Can't wait to see your new house in May!!!

First off, a HUGE congratulations to you! I actually thought of you at the gym this morning when I was huffing and puffing my way through a mere 35 min workout. You are some kind of cardio superhero in my book :)

Second, your mom is hysterical! I'm definitely stealing some of those ideas for sometime when I'm feeling mischievous.

[supergal16]

Hee hee hee - I definitely still huff and puff at the gym!!!!

Yes, hysterical. ;) It's so funny how proud of herself she is too. She actually pulled the same stunt on my brother and dad too. We all fell for it!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I knew you could do it. Wasn't it a great feeling when you crossed that finish line? I cried I was so happy. I know that sounds corny, but just the pure elation that after all that hard training, I had accomplished the goal and I proved to myself that I'm stronger than I thought I was. Not to sound condescending, but I'm so proud of you. :)

Hope you have a great week recovering. May I suggest finding a friend with a hot tub? :)

[supergal16]

Thank you so much - I felt the same way. I'm not a very athletic person...I don't do well in competitive sports, so this was my first real physical fitness goal I set for myself and accomplished. Was definitely a proud moment for me. :)

Can you believe BOTH of the hot tubs on my street are broken???!!!!

congrats, lauren! i can't see your pics from work, so i'll have to check them out later. and that's a fantastic time, yay!

your mom is hilarious. i love that she april fool's you! that's awesome.

[supergal16]

Fantastic is giving me too much credit, but I'll admit I was pleased. I figured I run a 10 min mile in a good 5K, I would be very lucky to hit 11 over a 13 mile distance, but that's just about what I did, so GO ME. :)

My mom is a goof. She gets me EVERY year!!!

Look at YOU! Lauren, you look like you're in amazing shape (and you were already in pretty good shape to begin with). I'm so jealous of your upper body! Awesome, tip-top, baby-makin' shape! ;-)

CONGRATULATIONS!

Now I can see where you get your sense of fun and humor from - your mom has really come up with some great April Fools jokes! Love it!

[supergal16]

You are the best, Christina - You have made my day!!!

(Especially since w the half-marathon behind me, TTC will officially begin! :D )
